Soccer Defeats Bethel 2-1
GAINESVILLE, Ga.- The Brenau soccer team outlasted SSAC rival Bethel (Tenn.) University to secure their seventh win of the season on Thursday.
The Golden Tigers scored first when in the 16th minute Mary Achebo assisted Jenny Knibbs for her 14th goal of the year to give Brenau a 1-0 lead.
The Wildcats answered in the 22nd minute as Melinda Sopka beat keeper Tori Brown to even the score 1-1.
Although Brenau controlled the offensive pace, outshooting the Bethel 14-2 for the match, they were unable to find their scoring touch until the 60th minute when Knibbs' free kick rebounded off Bethel keeper Danielle Krzyzaniak to senior Monica Sanchez , who buried the game winner.
Brenau (7-7-2) closes out the regular season on Saturday when they host Belhaven (Miss.) University at 3 pm at Allen Creek Soccer Complex.
