TUSCULUM WOMEN BLANKS UNC PEMBROKE 5-0

 

                PEMBROKE, N.C. --- Ashley Moreira recorded a goal and an assist to lead third-ranked Tusculum College to a 5-0 road victory over UNC Pembroke Monday night at Belk Field.  The Pioneers improve to 11-0-3 on the season, while the Lady Braves fall to 6-9-1.

 

                Moreira posts her 31st career assists and is now tied for the all-time in school history with former All-South Atlantic Conference standout Kelsa Eschmann.

 

                Tusculum also records its fifth consecutive shutout and hasn’t allowed a goal in 494 consecutive minutes dating back to Sep. 27 at Carson-Newman.

 

                The Pioneers recorded a pair of goals in the opening half with the first coming in the 28th minute as Becky Carreiro tallied her team-leading eighth goal as she took a crossing pass from Jere Whitbred.  TC accounted for its second scoring tally of the night as Amanda Linville found the back of the net at the 33:48 mark, thanks to assists from Moreira and Carreiro.

 

                Courtney Hambel scored on a penalty kick at the 48:11 mark before Moreira and Ally Mathews added two more goals later in the contest to seal the win.

 

                Tusculum keeper Whitney Wardrop posted her fourth straight clean-sheet and ninth shutout of the season, to go along with seven saves.

 

                The Pioneers will close out the SAC regular season on Thursday when they travel to Wingate for a 3 p.m. match.
