In-between those two goals, Beal collected her first goal as a Lady Bulldog in the 40th minute on a header off a pass from Brown along the right goal line.
Barton enjoyed a 20-6 edge in total shots and 7-2 advantage in corner kicks against the Lady Bears, who are competing in their first season as an intercollegiate program.
Shaw (0-2) had a its best opportunity to score in the 58th minute when Jacari Riggins and Leslie Mendoza fired back-to-back open shots from close range, but Barton senior keeper Haley Sauls knocked down Riggins' shot from the left wing and caught Mendoza's follow-up from inside the box.
Sauls, who lives in Shaw's hometown of Raleigh, N.C., recorded four total saves in posting her first shutout of the year.
