Andria Gray came into the second half in goal for Birmingham-Southern and stopped four Lady Chant shots to share the shutout with Kohler. Sophomore Jaclyn Stoll (Fairfax Station, Va./Hayfield Secondary) had two saves in the second half.

Junior Bobbie Parsons (Portugal Cove, Newfoundland/Prince of Wales) led Coastal with eight shots, three on goal, while senior Erin Blevins (Xenia, Ohio/Xenia) and freshman Emily McColl (Wellington, New Zealand/Hutt Valley) had four shots apiece.

With the win, Birmingham-Southern moves back into first place in the Big South. Coastal remains tied with Charleston Southern for sixth place in the conference.
