LEXINGTON, Va. – The Washington and Lee women's soccer team saw 11 different players score a goal, as the team used a 13-0 win over Hollins to extend its unbeaten streak to 12 games.
The win improves the Generals to 8-0-4 overall and 3-0-1 in ODAC play, as the 12 games without a loss this season is now the third-longest streak to begin a season in program history. The second-longest such run came in 2019 when the Generals began 15-0-2. Additionally, the 13 goals scored marks the second-most goals scored in a game, while the 13-goal win is also the second-largest margin of victory in program history.
