No. 24 Lady Bears extend AAC win streak to two

CLEVELAND, Ga. (September 15, 2021) – The Truett McConnell University women's soccer team dominated on the field to steal their second straight Appalachian Athletic Conference win against Point University (6-1) Wednesday inside the TMU Soccer/Lacrosse Complex.

The half concluded with a score of 1-0, but within the first three minutes of period two, TMU increased their lead as Hannah Logue took advantage of a deflected blocked shot in the box from Dvorakova, to score the second goal of the game (2-0).

The Lady Bears continued to add to their lead, with the third goal of the game shot by Sydney League, off an Ashley Johnson assist (3-0). Point retaliated in the 70th minute with a goal of their own in efforts to reduce the gap (3-1). TMU did not back down as they increased the lead to four off back-to-back Lukie goals, featuring a penalty kick shot from a foul in the box (5-1). The game was ultimately put out of reach with a final goal off a shot from Lindsey Fowler, with a Lukie assist.
