MOUNT OLIVE -- Lyndsay Brennan, welcome to the Century Club.

A senior, Brennan collected a goal and an assist as Mount Olive College defeated Southern Virginia 3-0 at Amon Field on Monday. Brennan, who hails from Springfield, Va., became the third player in program history to reach the 100-point plateau.

Brennan has 39 career goals and 22 career assists. She is one point away from tying April Jacobs for second place on the Trojan career points list.

Mount Olive, which won its second straight game, owned a decisive 22-3 edge in shots. Keepers Lyndsey McIntyre (two saves) and Ashley Crompton combined for the shutout in goal.

"We had a rough start this season, but we've got two wins in a row now," said Brennan. "We play our next two at home, so we hope we can make it four in a row."
