BANNER ELK, N.C. -- Senior captain Christine Calvert had two
assists to propel the Lees-McRae Lady Bobcats to a 3-0 Conference
Carolinas win over the Converse College Valkyries for their sixth
straight win to begin the 2008 season.
In the 32nd minute, Calvert (Dallas, Texas) took a corner kick
which was then poorly cleared by the Valkyries backline and served
a ball that found Brooke Santerre's (Port Republic, Md.) foot and
the back of the net to give the Lady Bobcats a 1-0 lead.
With time running out in the first half, co-captain Maribeth Novak
(Homer Glen, Ill.) received a through pass from Calvert and ripped
a one-timer that was saved by the Valkyries' keeper. Novak
collected the rebound and put it in the back of the net to make it
2-0.
The final goal came when Tiffany Rodman headed a corner kick from
Calvert off the keeper's hands into the goal to make it 3-0.
The Lady Bobcats out shot the Valkyries 24-5 in the contest.
Marissa Middleton (Olathe, Kan.) had three saves to earn the
shutout in the goal for the Bobcats.
With the win, the Lady Bobcats climb to 6-0 overall and 2-0 in the
conference while the Valkyries fall to 0-7 overall and 0-2 in the
conference.
The Lady Bobcats' next match is Saturday, September 20th at 1:00
