Upset Bid Falls Short For Lady Roadrunners


DALTON, Ga. – A strong defensive showing and great play in goal held the #3 team in the country scoreless for almost 50 minutes of play but found a way to take the lead late and held on for a 3-1 win over Dalton State (Ga.) in SSAC action at Dalton Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
 
 HOW IT HAPPENED
 FIRST HALF 
  • NO SCORING
SECOND HALF 
  • (1-0 WC) WC: It only took a little over four minutes into the second period for the Lady Saders to get on the board as Kokona Nishikawa booted a goal home with an assist from Lesley Vasquez.
  • (1-1 T) DS: A well-struck corner kick from Ria Cox gave the Lady Birds life as she sent a ball over the Carey defense to a waiting Molly Duncan who knocked it home to tie the match in the 55'.
  • (2-1 WC) WC: With time winding down, Ricio Fernandez broke the 1-1 tie with a rebound goal in the 83' to give William Carey the lead for good.
  • (3-1 WC) WC: Esalenna Galekhutle gave WC insurance in the 89' when she went coast to coast and finished it off with a late score.
THE REST OF THE STORY
Dalton State (Ga.) falls to (5-2-3 overall, 3-2-2 SSAC) with the loss, while #3 William Carey (Miss.) improves to (11-1-1 overall, 6-0-1 SSAC) with the win. Molly Duncan collected a score on the day off a beautiful corner kick from Ria Cox who snagged an assist on the play.
 
Brooke Alvarez played an amazing game in net, stopping 10 Carey shots and only allowing three goals to a high-powered offensive attack.
