Janine Lytle (Wooster, Ohio/Wooster H.S.) scored her first goal of the season and Valparaiso posted its first shutout of the season on Friday afternoon as the Crusaders defeated Coastal Carolina 1-0 at Osborne Stadium in Lynchburg, Va. to open the Liberty Invitational.

Lytle knocked home a free kick off of the foot of Catherine Terrell (Brighton, Mich./Brighton H.S.) just 16:04 into the contest, and that goal held up as the Crusaders moved their record back to the .500 mark on the season.
