BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- The Moravian University women's soccer squad broke a scoreless tie late in the second half as the Greyhounds blanked visiting the United States Coast Guard Academy, 1-0, Sunday afternoon on John Makuvek Field as the Hounds improved to 4-0 for the first time since 2005 with their fourth consecutive shutout.
How It Happened
- The teams played a scoreless first half with the Bears putting three shots on goal
- The Blue & Grey put the only shot of the match in the net in the 78th minute as senior forward Carly Pyatt took a long shot from the right corner of the 18-yard box and put it in the left side of the box
Inside the Numbers
- Pyatt's goal was her second of the season and ninth of her career. She has been involved in five of Moravian's six goals this season
- Sophomore goalie Caitlyn Philips made her first career start in the net for the Hounds, and she recorded five saves in the shutout
- Moravian held a 15-9 advantage in shots and a 7-2 edge in corner kicks
- The Greyhounds are 4-0 for the first time since 2005. Moravian's 2017 team had a seven-match unbeaten streak to start the year; however, the opening match that fall was a tie before six consecutive victories. The 2017 squad posted shutouts in those first seven matches and did not allow a goal in the first 701 minutes of the season
Up Next for the Greyhounds

- Wednesday, September 18 at Stockton University, 5:00 p.m.
