Box Score


DANVILLE, Va.— The Averett women's soccer team crushed Mary Baldwin 7-0 in USA South Conference action Saturday afternoon at Averett's North Campus.

The Cougars (9-4-0, 5-2 USA South) took almost half of the first half to get going, but freshman Suvi Piiponen scored on a header after a corner kick by sophomore Ringa Remes to give Averett it's first score 24 minutes into the match.

The first score opened the flood gates for Averett. After Piiponen's score, freshman Maliha Ataullah scored two consecutive unassisted goals in the 26th and 34th minutes. Camilla Sjoren, freshman, scored with three minutes left in the period to give the Cougars a 4-0 lead at halftime.

Freshman Ashley Chaney scored twice in the second half and fellow first-year player Susana Arenas added another.

Senior Alicia McSweeney had an easy day in the goal, recording one save en route to a shutout. The Cougars outshot the Squirrels (2-8-0, 0-4-0 USA South) 44-1.

Averett will return to the pitch tomorrow for a 1 p.m. match with Shenandoah at the Cougar Den.
