Hickory, N.C. – The Tusculum College Women’s Soccer Team (13-5, 4-3) scored four unanswered goals to defeat Lenoir-Rhyne College (7-9-2, 2-5), 4-1, on the Bears’ Senior Day Saturday.

After L-R’s goal, the Pioneers took control of the match. Five minutes later (14:57), Danielle Tanner (Toronto, Ontario, CANADA) shot the ball from the right side of the field outside the 18-yard box and found the back of the net to even the match at one.

Tanner would assist on the next two Tusculum goals. Tanner found Courtney Turner (Cocoa Beach, Fla.) in 34th minute and Amanda Tripp (Naples, Fla.) in the 65th minute to put the match away at 3-1.

Tusculum scored its final goal of the match with 21:10 remaining. Heather Craft (Cincinnati, Ohio) took the Nicole Ferris’ (Lebanon, Ohio) corner kick and placed it in the back of the net to make the score 4-1.

Tori Hadjopoulos (Greeneville, Tenn.) picked up the win in goal for Tusculum while senior Nicole Ley (Cupertino, Calif./Monta Vista HS) suffered the loss for Lenoir-Rhyne.

L-R’s next match will be in the first round of the 2007 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament on Wednesday when it travels to Newberry, S.C., to face Newberry.
