Quakers Outplay Wildcats at Home

Box Score

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The Guilford College women's soccer team took down Johnson and Wales University (N.C.) on Tuesday evening.

THE BASICS

HOW IT HAPPENED

Almost as if the time change threw both teams off their game, the first half was slow and came to an end with the score still knotted at 0-0.
The only solid scoring opportunity in the first half was owned by McKaley Boston with 17:50 remaining in the opening stanza. Boston's shot was nearly dead on, but knocked off the crossbar and back into play.
JWU had a solid attempt to make the scoreboard as it found itself on a breakaway in the 56th minute of the contest. The Wildcats attempt was stopped by a stellar Quakers' slide tackle.
It was Crystal Rivas who notched the game-winning goal for Guilford, as she won in a tough battle with a defender for nearly 20-yards before beating the goalie bottom right side with 29:45 remaining in the contest.
The Wildcats had a last ditch attempt to even the score and force extra time, as a long Katie Douglass shot from 30-yards out ricocheted off the crossbar with three seconds remaining.

QUAKERS' TOP PERFORMERS

Getting her second-career start, Khalia Jones tallied four saves.
Rivas continues to lead her squad in scoring, as she now has seven goals on season. This was her 5th game-winner of the season. The Charlotte, N.C. native is tied for first in all of Division III in this category.

NEXT GAME

Guilford will remain at home as it is set to open its Old Dominion Athletic Conference slate in a 7 p.m. meeting with Lynchburg on Friday.
