Vanderbilt soccer beat Belmont 2-0 Sunday night, remaining undefeated on the season at 2-0-2 but also picking up its first win since the season opener. The Commodores outshot Belmont 20-2 and picked up goals from Rachel Deresky and Ella Eggleston. The Hustler also has a story on the game.

Also in the Hustler, our favorite non-AoG weekly column returns, the Commodore Brunch. They also have a season preview for Vanderbilt cross country, which opens its season Friday at the Belmont Opener.
