Lady Eagles Capture W-League Playoff Berth By Chewing Up Piranhas

Ashley, Ashley, Ashley.

That's the best way to describe how the host Charlotte Lady Eagles shut out the Virginia Beach Piranhas 3-0 at Charlotte Christian Stadium Friday to clinch a USL W-League playoff berth from the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division: Three games named Ashley scored goals for the victory.

The first was Ashley Aragona, who was assisted by Christine Rife on a goal in the third minute, Janel Schmitt would later feed a pass to Ashley Braam in the 37th minute to double the Eagles' lead, then Ashley Swinhart closed the scoring with a 78th minute strike from Laura Novikoff.

Charlotte ends the 2011 regular season in second place in the division at 6-2-2 with 20 points.

Virginia Beach, in third place at 5-4-0 with 15 points, travel to Silverbacks Park Saturday to meet the Atlanta Silverbacks in both teams' season finales.
