Cullowhee, N.C. - Junior Natalie Turgeon scored midway through the second half to lead Western Carolina to a 1-0 shutout over the Wofford Terriers Friday afternoon in Southern Conference action at Schrader Field.
The win marks the second time in Western Carolina soccer's six year history that the Catamounts (3-6-3, 1-2-3) have defeated the Terriers (7-3-0, 2-2-0), and the first time the victory has been at Schrader Field.
