Moorman's goals were the first against the Cougars in regular season play this year. College of Charleston's Olivia Freitas cut the Bears lead to 2-1 with 11 minutes left in the first half. The Bears' Lana Whitfield scored her second goal of the season with a minute and a half left in the first half.

It was a night for twos. As Kendall Cook also notched her second goal of the campaign, connecting on a penalty in the first eight minutes of the second half, giving the Bears their 4-1 margin.

The Bears controlled the offensive flow throughout the game with 12 corner kicks to just two for College of Charleston. The game got a little testy at times, as the Cougars received five yellow card cautions. The Bears had none.

Mercer faces the Stetson Hatters on Sunday Aug. 28 at Betts Stadium, in a 2 p.m. kickoff.
