Hurricanes Earn First Victory Over Florida Gulf Coast

CORAL GABLES - The University of Miami women's soccer team (1-1-0) scored twice off of set pieces in a 3-0 victory over in-state foe Florida Gulf Coast (0-2-0), Tuesday evening at Cobb Stadium.

The first goal of the Hurricanes' season came from junior transfer Barbara Blocker in the opening half. In the second period, junior Brittney Steinbruch and senior Beverly Goebel secured the victory with a goal each.

In the 35th minute, Miami earned a corner kick that was taken by Lauren Singer. She sent the ball to the far post, where Blocker leapt into the air and headed the ball into the back of the net. The University of Oregon product scored in only her second game as a Hurricane.
