\nThe Mountaineers wasted no time getting on the board, scoring just 2:06 seconds into the contest. On a free kick from midfield, Maddie Williams<\/a> lofted a high ball into the box. Olivia Simon<\/a> was the first to the ball, punching it back across the six-yard box. Bermingham then used her right foot to play herself with a backheal, before poking it home with her left foot to put the Black and Gold on the board first.

\nBermingham continued her magic in the 13th minute of play. Goalkeeper Hanna Skogsfors<\/a> came outside the 18-yard box to set up play with a long ball over the top. The service landed right at the feet of Birmingham, who was able to settle spin and score, burying the shot in the bottom-left corner of the net. It was Bermingham’s second brace of the season to give her a team-high five goals on the year. The assist from Skogsfors was the first assist by a goalkeeper in program history.

\nApp State’s defense made some key plays as well in the victory, highlighted by defender Anaya Jones<\/a> who saved a goal by heading away a shot to the far post, off a Miami corner kick in the 34th minute of play.

\nMiami (4-1-1) broke through in the 75th minute when Zoie Fontenot volleyed home a free kick to break up the shutout. The Hurricanes netted the equalizer on a penalty kick in the 77th minute when App State was whistled for a foul in the box.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Mountaineers were limited to just three shots in the match \u2013 the two goals from Bermingham and an attempt from Ellie Garrison<\/a>. Skogsfors recorded a pair of saves in the first half and Anneliese Hindelang<\/a> recorded a pair of stops in the second stanza. Williams, Simon and Lucy Harrington<\/a> played all 90 minutes in the field.
