FOLEY, Ala. - #3 William Carey Women's Soccer picked up their second win over a team in the NAIA Top 25, defeating Southeastern (Fla.) 5-1, Sunday afternoon at the Foley Sports Complex.

Just as the game looked like it would head into the break tied, Natasha Povey stole the ball at midfield and played a brilliant ball to Virginia Mesa with only seconds remaining on the clock.  Mesa then drove down the field past the Southeastern defenders and firing a shot to the bottom right corner of the goal to give WCU a 2-1 lead heading into the break.

The Lady Crusaders continued to press the attack and in the 63^rd minute, Julia Herbst played a header to Maria Azarias who dribbled around a defender then took aim at the top left corner of the goal to make it 3-1.  The WCU offense was not done and in the 76^th minute Kristina Decker played a long ball to Zalma Torres who then raced past the Southeastern defender and tapped the ball past the keeper.  In the final minute of play Torres drove down the right side then crossed the ball to Mesa in front of the goal who then netted the final goal of the match.
