Box Score

Hartsville, SC- The SAU women’s soccer team claimed their first Conference Carolinas win this evening as they defeated the Cobras of Coker College. Senior Olivia Taylor (Fountain Inn, SC) and sophomore Hannah Wilson (Salisbury, NC) led the Knights to a 2-0 lead. Only giving up one goal to the Cobras, the ladies of St. Andrews took control and finished with a final score of 2-1 over Coker.

Scoring the first goal of the game, Taylor blasted a low ball into the back of the net after Wilson sent the ball into the box in between the Coker (1-10-1 Conference, 1-16-1 Overall) defenders. The Knights (1-11, 2-15-1) sat on a 1-0 lead for the remaining 15:00 minutes of the first half. Katie Jaskulski (Orlando, FL) nabbed four saves in the first period, keeping the Knights’ advantage.

In addition to the point she earned for her assist, Wilson also added two points to her stats when she scored the Knights’ second goal moments into the second half. Wilson managed to find an open spot to set up for a shot and sent a rocket past Cobras keeper Lizz Morris, who earned four saves in tonight’s game. The Cobras responded 10:00 minutes later as Cassie Callahan sent a shot at the goal that hit the crossbar and fell into the net. As the Cobras tried to even the score, Jaskulski and the SAU defense would not allow the ball to go into the net. Jaskulski protected the goal and picked up four more saves, giving her a total of eight.

The Knights kept their composure, stayed focused, and regained control of the game. Chelsea Ross (Newark, NY) and Juliann Levesque (Greensboro, NC) added one shot on goal each, while Taylor took two additional shots at the keeper in an attempt to increase the Knights’ lead.

SAU women’s soccer went out with a bang this season. Information about next season will be available on the St. Andrews athletic webpage as the 2012 season gets closer.
