Women's Soccer Team Evens League Record With Victory At LaGrange

Behind a high-powered offense that tallied three first half goals including the game-winner at the third minute, the Piedmont College women's soccer team notched their fourth Great South Athletic Conference victory of the season over host LaGrange College tonight by the score of 4-0. The Lady Lions stayed on offense for the majority of the game allowing only five shots on goal and scoring four unanswered goals en route to victory.

Katie Porter struck the eventual game-winner on an assist from Caitlin Delvasto at the third minute and Anna Darvish tacked on another goal minutes later on an assist from Caitlin Hurd. Porter struck again with a minute left in the first half on with the pass coming from Hurd.

In the second half Autumn Richardson notched an unassisted goal from long distance to seal the victory for Piedmont. Goalkeeper Erin Porter was impressive between the posts notching five saves for her fourth shutout of the season.

The victory moves PC to 5-7-2 overall and 4-4-1 in the Great South and knocked LaGrange to 5-6 overall and 4-5 in conference play. The women will return to action again on Saturday, October 14th as they travel to conference foe Huntingdon College in Montgomery, AL starting at 1:00 CST.
