NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--Nine women scored for Westminster College in Wednesday evening's 11-0 shutout victory over visiting Penn State Altoona.

Wednesday was the first match this season at the UPMC Sports Complex.

Westminster improved to 3-0 with the win, while Penn State Altoona fell to 0-3. Thirty-three players appeared for the Titans. 

Freshman Chloe LaRosa (Tyrone, Pa., Tyrone) completed the first hat trick of her career in the 52nd minute, scoring off of an assist by junior Brooke Horvath (Murrysville, Pa., Franklin Regional). Horvath tied the program record with four assists Wednesday (4, Samantha Killmeyer-vs. Thiel, 10/15/2008; Katie Krone-at Bethany, 9/25/2000). She also scored her third goal of the season in the 56th minute.

Junior Allie Augustine (Cortland, Ohio, Lakeview), Horvath, freshman Abbigale Whaley (Monongahela, Pa., Ringgold) and sophomore Natalie Doty (Franklin, Pa., Franklin) also scored second half goals. 

Lewis and Shannon each finished with one goal and one assist. 

Westminster finished with a 34-3 advantage in shots, a 19-2 edge in shots on goal and a 6-0 lead in corner kicks. 

Sophomore Morgan Murphy (Yardley, Pa., Villa Joseph Marie), freshman Emily Codere (Shelton, Conn., Shelton), junior Lauren Gross (Lewisburg, Pa., Lewisburg) and freshman Ashley Vith (McKees Rocks, Pa., Montour) combined for the shutout. Murphy and Vith had a save apiece.
