NEWBERRY, S.C. -- Jaidyn Jacobs scored a pair of goals Saturday afternoon as the Newberry Women's Soccer team topped the Shaw Bears 2-0 in nonconference action at the Smith Road Complex. The win gives Newberry a 2-0 record this season, with both being shutout wins.

It didn't take long for Jacobs to find the back of the net, as she scored her first goal just 1:04 into the game, giving Newberry the early 1-0 lead. The Wolves defense was strong again, holding the Bears to just three shots on goal in the first half, with Wolves goalkeeper Delaney Hood making three saves to send the match into the intermission with Newberry leading.

In the second half it was Jacobs who again found the back of the net, as she got her fourth goal of the season to extend the Newberry lead to 2-0. It was a lead that they would hang onto, as goalkeeper Jayleen Grant only needed to make one save, which came in the closing minutes, but Grant was able to make the save, preserving the Newberry shutout.
