The Georgia Southwestern women's soccer team lost 7-1 to the
University of North Alabama on Tuesday afternoon at Hurricane
Field.
GSW (2-4) struck first at the 32:20 mark when freshman Kalila
Lincoln broke free along the back line for a one-on-one
opportunity she was able to capitalize on. It was Lincoln's
second goal in as many games.
That's when UNA (3-4) forward Tassia Augusto took
over. Augusto scored her first goal at 35:33 on a penalty
kick after she was taken down in the box. Two minutes later,
Augusto struck again when she dribbled through the Lady 'Canes
defense and delivered a shot from the left corner of the box past
the outstretched arms of GSW junior goalkeeper Christy
Drabek. In the 45th minute, Augusto fed freshman Beth Spurr
to give the Lions a 3-1 lead heading into the halftime
break.
Augusto picked up where she left off in the second
half by knocking in her third goal of the game at 55:13 off an
assist from Stephanie Bradshaw. Bradshaw then fed Sarah
Robins to extend the Lions' lead to 5-1. Late goals from
Meghan Brown and Adriene Aragon completed the scoring for UNA.
Drabek finished with four saves. UNA starting goalie Alex
McLay saved two and Carly Rhodes came off the bench to save
four. UNA outshot the Lady Hurricanes 21-17 and corner
kicks were tied at six apiece.
The Lady Canes are back in action on Friday when they travel to
Columbus to face West Georgia at 5 p.m. in first game of the Peach
Belt vs. Gulf South Invitational.
