Big Rapids, Mich. - The nationally #17-ranked Ferris State University women's soccer team secured its first win of the season, shutting out the Walsh Cavaliers 2-0 at the Bulldog Soccer Field on Sunday (Sept. 4).

Ferris State senior Isabella Zamborini netted both Bulldog goals in a strong offensive performance where she paced the Bulldogs with four shots. 

The Bulldogs jumpedout in front at 9:39 when senior Nikki May sprung Zamborini free on a long service down the middle, where Zamborini held off her defender and ripped off a shot labled for the top right corner for a 1-0 Bulldog lead. Zamborini's goal was her first of the season while May earned her first helper of the year.

Midway through the half, Zamborini was played in deep by junior Brinley Bell. Zamborini fired a shot off the hands of Walsh goalkeeper Romina Parraguez that spun into the open net for her second of the day and season. Bell earned her first point as a Bulldog on the goal.

In a stout defensive effort, the Bulldogs did not allow a shot on goal on the day. Ferris State in fact only allowed one shot attempt to the Cavaliers over the last 65:27 of action. The Bulldogs had a 21-5 advantage in shot attempts and 6-1 lead in corner tries for the day.

For Ferris State, sophomore goalkeeper Darya Mosallaei earned the win and the shutout. The shutout is the 13th of her career, moving her alone into third place all-time in program history. Parraguez took the loss for Walsh, making three stops and allowing both goals before being lifted at half time for Lilly Lakuszewski. 

Ferris State remains at home to open conference play and face the reigning national champion Grand Valley State Lakers on Friday (Sept. 9) at 4 p.m. (ET) at the Bulldog Soccer Field. Ferris State went unbeaten with one win over GVSU last season, coming in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Championship match on the road.
