WEST POINT, Ga. (Aug. 24, 2019) – The Truett McConnell University women's soccer team shutout Warner University (5-0) at the Jenna Bragg Tournament, hosted by Point University, which moves the Lady Bears to 2-0 on the week.

PLAY-BY-PLAY

In the 26th minute, junior midfielder Tori Wilson found the back of the net after a long shot outside the 18 to put TMU out front for good (1-0). Once again Wilson scored with three minutes before the half on a free kick to further cushion TMU's lead (2-0). Freshman Sophia Kay scored her first collegiate goal in the 60th minute after her shot deflected off a defender (3-0) and sophomore Mackenzie Taylor also scored her first collegiate off a corner in the 68th minute (4-0). Junior Jessica Lanier rounded out the Lady Bears' goals with seven minutes left (5-0).

TMU outshot the Royals 8-3 in the first half and 7-3 in the second, and earned six corner kicks in comparison to Warner's one.

COACH'S COMMENTS

"Today's result was very good but I'm more impressed with the high level of the girls' performance so early in the season," Head Coach David McDowell said. "We have a lot of new players who are learning our system and tonight they all took a big step to understanding it more. This has been a good weekend for us to get two wins and a lot of different girls minutes. We'll take next week to recover and work on a few more things before we play Bob Jones on the 3rd."

LEADERS

Lanier led with five shots, three on goal while fellow junior Jennifer McCall tallied four shots.

Sophomore Hope Foster earned her second career shutout racking up a total of four saves.
