NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Montevallo women's soccer moved to 2-0 in the early going of the season after defeating Trevecca Nazarene 4-1 on Saturday afternoon. 
 
The Falcons' victory began with a chippy first 20 minutes with both sides playing hard defense, not allowing a single shot on goal. With possession flipping for the next seven minutes, Montevallo gained control of the game when Avery Campbell fired a shot from well outside the 18-yard box that found the mark to break the ice and put Montevallo on top, 1-0, with 18 minutes left in the half. 
 
Moments later, Madysen Legere drew a foul inside the penalty area opening another scoring opportunity for the Falcons. Falcon defender Madeline Milby converted the penalty try to lift UM to a two-goal advantage. 
 
The final 18 minutes of the half reflected the defensive start with senior keeper Emily Hounsell stopping the Trojans best scoring chance in the first. 
 
With a 2-0 lead coming out of the half, the Falcons' offense continued to batter the Trevecca backline. Just six minutes into the second half, Miranda Fragoso played a perfect ball into the box for a slicing Kaeri Ward that resulted in Montevallo's third goal of the day. 
 
Just two minutes later, Marica Miljanovic fired a bullet past the keeper off an assist from freshman Lainey Farabaugh to lift Montevallo to a 4-0 lead with 37 minutes left on the clock. 
 
Fragoso nearly opened a five-goal lead but was denied by the TNU keeper before a dangerous Kieran Burkey shot sailed just high in the 68^th minute. 
 
Trevecca managed to put one goal on the board with 17 minutes remaining, but the Falcons' lead was too much to overcome.
