The Westerwinds held a 7-3 shot advantage in the second half, controlling much of the half.?It was a game of two halves,? head coach Kevin Sherry said. ?The first half was the worst we?ve played all season, and the second half was the best.

Trisha Walter led the way for Eastern with five shots.

Schuneman?s assist was her second on the young season.?The team has picked itself up lately,? Sherry said. ?This was a total team effort. We seemed to have heavy legs the first half, but the ladies picked it up in the second half. It?s so nice to have the first win out of the way.?Western Illinois will return to action Sunday, against Northern Iowa. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. from the Cedar Valley Soccer Complex in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
