Leading 1-0 at the halftime break, Western Kentucky found the back of the net three times in the final 45 minutes Sunday. The Lady Toppers went on to pick up a 4-1 victory over Evansville at the WKU Soccer Complex.
Of WKU’s season-high 23 shots, 14 came during the second-half offensive barrage and 12 were on target throughout the match. Chandler Backes had a match-high five attempts, followed by Sarah Gorham’s four and three apiece from Hannah Chua and Megan Morris.
Freshman Ashley Leonard again found the back of the net to open the scoring Sunday after tallying the golden goal in WKU’s last match against UT Martin, while Morris scored for the first time this season in the 75th minute.
