Box Score JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--The Barry University women's soccer team smothered the Catawba College Indians 5-0 to win the title at the the Wingate Inn Labor Day Classic in Jacksonville, Fla. Monday afternoon.

The Bucs took a 1-0 lead to halftime thanks to an Erika O'Brien goal at 41:10. Pam McDonald had the assist.

In the second half, it was all Barry as the Bucs got two goals from Ashley Snell and one each from Marie Gunnarsson and Tammie Thornton.

Gunnarsson goal was assisted by keeper Johanna Fischer who cleared the ball out to Gunnarsson who scored.

Fischer worked her third straight shutout and ran her scoreless streak to 336 minutes, despite not having to make a save. Kim Clayton kept the game from getting completely out of hand by making 12 saves for the Indians.
