HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The highest scoring offense in the NAIA flexed its muscle early Friday as the Lady Eagles saw their season end in a 10-1 loss to William Carey at Danny Owens Field in the SSAC Women's Soccer Championship.
The Crusaders scored just two minutes in on a long distance strike from Raquel Diaz before adding to it in the eighth and 12th minutes to make it 3-0 rapidly.Â
WCU added four more quickly around the half-hour mark to take a 7-0 lead into halftime.
Faulkner steadied the ship as much as possible in the second half after an own goal in the 51st allowing just one more goal from the high-octane offense in the 65th minute.
DeAireal Williams got on the end of a ball from
Sydney Steele to break the WCU defense less than a minute later for Faulkner's lone tally of the afternoon.Â
Hannah Maddox picked up eight saves on 11 total shots faced after entering the match just after the 30 minute mark.Â
The Lady Eagles conclude
Jon Ireland's first season of his second tenure with a 7-9-3 record and 6-6-1 in SSAC play.Â
