LINVILLE PACES NO. 4 TUSCULUM TO 3-0 WIN OVER COUGARS

 

                GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Amanda Linville recorded a goal and an assist to lead the fourth-ranked Tusculum College women’s soccer team to a 3-0 victory over Columbus State University Saturday night at Pioneer Field.

 

                Tusculum improves to 12-1-3 on the season, while the Columbus State falls to 16-3 on the year.

 

                The Cougars, champions of the Peach Belt Conference, out-shot the Pioneers 16-11 as TC keeper Whitney Wardrop recorded seven saves to post her 10th shutout of the season.  CSU keeper Monica Sanchez accounted for five saves in the loss.

 

                Linville got the Pioneers on the board first in the 73rd minute for her fourth scoring tally of the season.  Sanchez came out of the box to play a loose ball, but Linville converted the turnover and kicked the ball to the far post at the 72:32 mark.

 

                Six minutes later, Jere Whitbred took a crossing pass from Linville at the 79:07 mark to give the Pioneers a 2-0 advantage.  Becky Carreiro wrapped up the scoring for the Pioneers when she scored on a breakaway and finished with a chip shot to the near post, past Sanchez for her team-leading ninth goal of the year.

 

                Tusculum will returns to action Tuesday when it hosts a quarterfinal match of the 2006 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament.  Match time and opponent will be announced by the league office.  CSU will open play also open play in the Peach Belt Tournament, slated to begin this week.
