The University of Mary Washington men's soccer team scored a pair of first half goals en route to a 2-0 victory over North Carolina Wesleyan College on Wednesday night in Fredericksburg. The Eagles improve to 6-1 on the season.

Mary Washingotn opened the scoring on a goal from freshman Justin Carey at 13:58, on an assist from classmate Robert Tata. Less than five minutes, junior Jacob Burke scored on a Carey assist to push the score to 2-0.

The Eagles clamped down defensively, limiting the Bishops to five shots, and none in the second half. UMW led in shots, 19-5, and in corner kicks, 8-2. Sophomore goalie had two saves for the Eagles in registering the shutout, while Jesper Olsson and Alex Magner combined for seven stops for NC Wesleyan.
