Gaby McLaughlin scored a goal and added an assist and the Panthers recorded their second shutout in four days in a 5-0 blanking of VMI Sunday afternoon at Albion Millis Stadium.

Jen Evans, Emily Lanham, Lena Svensson and Tanya Wolf scored the other goals for HPU (5-3-0), which remains perfect in Big South play (2-0-0). The Keydets drop to 0-6-0 (0-1-0 in the Big South).

Megan Fielden notched a pair of assists in the victory for the Panthers, who out-shot the Keydets by a 33-5 count.

Hannah Nail and Courtney Noel combined for the shutout in goal for HPU. Nail made a pair of saves, while Noel did not face a shot in roughly 27 minutes of relief. Nail kept Longwood scoreless in a 2-0 High Point win on Thursday night.

VMI keeper Jessica Rhienlander collected 14 saves.

McLaughlin got the Panthers on the board with her first-career goal when she beat Rhienlander from five yards off a Fielden free kick in the 20th minute. Less than two minutes later, HPU took a 2-0 lead on Lanham's first goal of the year, a diagonal shot from seven yards away off a McLaughlin assist.

The Panthers took a 3-0 cushion into intermission after nice passes by Carolyn Bader and Lanham through the VMI defense led to Evans' second goal of the season.

HPU tacked on insurance goals in the 50th minute (on a Svensson penalty kick following a hand ball in the box) and 83rd minute (on a header by Wolf off a Fielden corner kick) to complete the scoring.

Colleen Redmond led the Keydets with a pair of shots, including one on goal. HPU held a 19-2 advantage in shots-on-goal and a 15-2 edge in corner kicks.

The Panthers visit North Carolina State on Tuesday night (7:00 pm) in a match to be played at SAS Soccer Park in Cary (the home of the 2004 NCAA Women's College Cup). VMI travels to Appalachian State on Thursday (7:30 pm).
