The Fighting Scots started their season with a 1-0 loss to Lake Erie College, but have since bounced back with victories over Ursuline College (4-0) and Point Park University (1-0).
A big reason for Edinboro's winning record has been its goalkeeping. Freshman goalkeeper Brianna Garey has played all three games and compiled 18 saves, while only allowing one goal.
Jada Cole leads Edinboro with three goals on eight shots. Sonoka Shiokawa and Emily Vogel each have one goal for the Fighting Scots, both in their victory against Ursuline.
