BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Senior Iris Dunn and freshman Chandler Backes each scored over the opening 45 minutes as WKU notched its eighth shutout of the season, downing UAB, 2-0, at the WKU Soccer Complex on Sunday afternoon.
Both of WKU’s goals came off crosses after being played up through the midfield. The Lady Toppers (10-4-0, 5-1-0) jumped ahead on Dunn’s header in the 21st minute and doubled their advantage on Backes’ strike exactly 20 minutes later. Backes’ goal was her 10th of the season, making her just the fifth WKU player in program history to score double-digit goals in a single campaign.
