NCAA SOCCER
Henderson leads WVU to win
Redshirt freshman Erica Henderson stole the show in her first collegiate start Thursday evening as 14th-ranked West Virginia posted a 4-0 shutout against Pitt at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
“Erica was great tonight and made quite the statement in her first start,” said coach Nikki Izzo­Brown. “She gives us such a burst of energy and her two goals were a result of hard work and effort.”
Henderson, who entered the game with three shots on the season, put WVU ahead 1-0 seven minutes into the Big East opener for both teams.
The Rochester, N.Y., native finished a corner kick started by junior Nicole Mailloux and a flick from junior Carolyn Blank.
