Brevard College Women’s Soccer team (3-2) prevailed over host Salem College by a final score of 2-1. This result was in large part thanks to an early offensive push and a late defensive stand by the Tornados.
Senior Ashley Hughes got things going early for Brevard College as she sailed a perfectly placed ball into the left corner of the net just 45 seconds into the match. This goal marked her fifth on the season, setting a new single-season career high for goals scored.
Salem brought the equalizer in the fifth minute of action, knotting things up at 1-1.
Senior Megan Shina put Brevard on top for good as she connected in the 35th minute for her third goal of the season, breaking the tie and giving the Tornados a 2-1 advantage. The goal came off of senior Caroline David’s assist, who tallied her fourth assist of the season.
The Brevard College Women’s Soccer team will return to action as they host Berea Saturday, September 22 at 2 p.m. as part of Brevard’s Homecoming festivities.
