PRESBYTERIAN
REMAINS UNDEFEATED, WINS SAC OPENER AT NEWBERRY
NEWBERRY,
S.C.
– Presbyterian College sophomore forward
Jennifer Merritt
(Easley, S.C.) scored twice and freshman forward
Ginny Wolfe (Lexington,
S.C.) put home two goals of her own and added an assist as PC
defeated Newberry College 6-0 to open up South Atlantic
Conference women’s soccer play for the two squads Tuesday
night at the Newberry College Soccer Complex.
Senior Ashley
Cooke (Roswell, Ga.) added a goal and a pair of assists,
while sophomore
Megan Smith (Greenville, S.C.), the reigning SAC Player
of the Week, had a pair of assists.
PC jumped out early with a Wolfe score at the 11:35 mark and never
looked back. The Lady Blue Hose (4-0, 1-0 SAC) scored again in
17 minute intervals to go up 3-0 to start the second half. The
Hose then put home three goals in the next nine minutes to grab
their final margin of victory at the 59:08 mark.
Starting keeper Aimee
Tatom (Irving, Tex.) was
untested in the first half, as she did not face a single
Newberry shot in that frame. Back-up keeper
Rebecca Hood
(Bishop, Ga.) garnered the only save of the day for PC as
Newberry put up just three shots in the match, all in the second
half.
The Lady Indians (1-3, 0-1 SAC) allowed 25 PC shots in the game.
Keeper Annemarie Peterson
(Lake Grove, N.Y.) had six saves in 80-plus minutes in goal.
PC hosts Anderson College Thursday night at 7 p.m. at Martin
Stadium.
Newberry will travel to its first home game of the season, next
Monday afternoon at Coker for a 5 p.m. start.
