GAFFNEY, S.C. – Limestone College knocked off the Lees-McRae College women's soccer team by a 2-0 final score Wednesday evening in Gaffney, South Carolina. The loss moves Lees-McRae's record to 2-8-2 overall and 2-3-2 in league matches, while the Saints improve to 10-2-0 overall and 7-0-0 in Conference Carolinas contests with the victory.
Limestone scored one goal in each half to account for its two goals in the contests. The Saints were constantly attacking the Bobcat defense Wednesday. Over the course of the 90 minutes, Limestone outshot Lees-McRae, 36-5, overall, which included a 15-3 differential in shots landing on goal.
Two of Lees-McRae's three shots on goal came from defenders against the Saints. Riley Neese and Cailyn Pichler both accounted for shots from LMC's backline, while Sarah Giarusso added the third shot on goal for the Bobcats.
