Squirrels Drop Averett

DANVILLE, Va. - Mary Baldwin College scored a pair of first half goals, en route to a 2-0 win over Averett Thursday at the Cougar Den.

Catherine Christian put the Squirrels (7-7-1) on the board in the match's 16th minute on a corner kick. Her kick bent into the goal and Averett (4-12) keeper Lindsay Robertson grabbed it for an apparent save. However, the ball crossed the plane of the goal for a score.

Three minutes later Jessica Lankes added the final goal of the game for Mary Baldwin. Veronica Stokes was credited with an assist on the play.

The Cougars managed only a pair of shots in the match. Robertson had 10 saves in the match, while facing 19 shots.

Averett returns to action on Saturday at Guilford College.
