DANVILLE, Va. — The Cougars scored three times in six minutes early in the second half to record their 11th victory of the season.

Alex Cottle found Charlot Nacius for a second goal at the 50-minute mark. Defender Michel Hiza followed with a score from an Ali Katrib free kick, and then another defender, Fredson Jean, scored in the 56th minute from a Hiza assist.

“I’m really proud of Michel and Fredson getting forward on the attack,” coach John Birkelbach said.

Goalkeeper Robert Clerveaux, who has now gone 4 1/2 games without surrendering a goal, had seven saves.
