WEST CHESTER, PA – Ciara Margetich (Downingtown Pa./Downingtown West) scored twice as host West Chester ran out to a five-goal lead by halftime and never looked back en route to a 5-2 victory over 10th-ranked Millersville Thursday afternoon at Vonnie Gros Field.
 
West Chester (4-0) remained unbeaten on the season with its fourth win in as many contests while sending Millersville (3-2) to the defeat in the non-league tilt. The two teams will play their league contest in late October in Millersville.
 
Margetich registered her first two goals of the season in the first half, sandwiched around teammate Isabella Shute's (Chalfont, Pa./Central Bucks South) first of her career. Nina Scott (Schwenksville, Pa./Spring-Ford) and Veerle Hersman (Lisse, Netherlands) each found the back of the cage in the final seven minutes of the half to give West Chester a 5-0 advantage heading into the break. Hersman also logged an assist in the first half to finish with three points on the day.
 
The visiting Marauders fought back with a pair of markers in the second half – one in each of the two quarters. But, it was too big of a hole for Millersville.
 
West Chester goalkeeper, Erin O'Brien (Marlton, N.J./Cherokee) posted seven saves in the win to improve to 4-0 on the season.
 
West Chester welcomes No. 3 East Stroudsburg on Tuesday at 4 p.m. for another non-league contest.
