BUCKHANNON, W.Va. — West Virginia State rolled to a 4–0 Mountain East Conference win over West Virginia Wesleyan on Sunday at Culpepper Stadium, powered by a first-half flurry and a late insurance tally.

Hernández Díaz capped the day with a strike at 87:36, assisted by Aika Tobaru.

Bastock and the back line smothered WVWC's chances, allowing just four shots (two on frame) and no corners conceded after halftime. With today's shutout, Bastock's scoreless run moves to 230:59 of game action dating back to 39:01 of Game 3; she has not allowed a goal from the run of play in MEC play this season, with her lone goal against coming on a penalty kick.
