BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (September 29, 2019) – After a scoreless first 45 minutes of play, the Howard University women's soccer team scored four times, 4-0, in the second period to roll past Southern in Birmingham, Ala. at Sicard Hollow Park.
 
With the win, HU improved to 5-2 (2-0 SWAC) while extending its conference winning streak to 10, dating back to September 2018.
 
"[It] was another great result [today]," said Howard women's soccer head coach Brent Leiba. "The team played well, especially in the second half."
 
Moments after intermission, sophomore Kendall Macauly (Toronto, Canada) found third-year forward Bayley Carmichael (Houston) at the 47-minute mark and gave the Bison a 1-0 lead.
 
Nearly three minutes later, sophomore Thalia Boucher (Toronto, Canada) doubled HU's advantage, thanks to an assist from fellow classmate Arianna Morgan (Oklahoma City, Okla.), 2-0.
 
At the 79-minute mark, Morgan delivered the third goal off an assist from second-year forward Kenya Saunders (Brampton, Canada) and pushed the lead to three, 3-0.
 
Boucher sealed the deal with her second goal on a penalty kick roughly five minutes later, 4-0.

"I'm very proud of our overall effort and play this weekend," Leiba continued. "[It's] a great way to start off conference play."
