Greenville, S.C. -- The Furman women's soccer team netted a pair of second half goals to rally past Western Carolina, 2-1, and remain unbeaten in Southern Conference play on Sunday afternoon at Stone Soccer Stadium.

The win boosted Furman's record to 7-3-2 overall and 2-0-2 in SoCon play while Western Carolina slipped to 3-7-2 overall and 0-3-1 in the league.

With the match knotted at 1-1 in the 59th minute, Casey McKeon delivered a long throw in that Rachel Shelnutt headed into the path of Martha Hall.  The junior chipped the bouncing ball over the shoulder of the charging Catamount keeper and into the right side of the net for her team-leading eighth goal at the 58:52 mark.

Western Carolina took a 1-0 lead just before halftime on Erin Hamilton's second tally of the season.  Laura Greb  played a long pass straight down the middle of the field and Hamilton raced between two defenders to collect and shoot past Paladin keeper Jessica Smith to the left side at 43:16.

Alexa Jones scored the equalizer for Furman, her second goal of the season, less than five minutes after the restart.  The junior dribbled past the Catamount defense down the right channel and lined a shot off of keeper Caitlin Williams' hands that trickled into the left corner at the 49:12.

Furman compiled a commanding 25-9 edge in shot attempts, including an 8-4 edge in shots on goal and 16-5 advantage in second half attempts.

Smith, who has surrendered one goal or fewer in 11 consecutive matches, earned the victory in goal while totaling three saves.  Williams stopped six shots for Western Carolina.

Furman concludes its three-match SoCon homestand on Thursday night when it hosts the Chattanooga Mocs at Stone Stadium.  Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
