RALEIGH, N.C. — The Averett women's soccer team defeated William Peace University 4-2 in its last USA South regular season game.

Averett (12-5-1, 9-2-1 USA South) opened up scoring early in the game when senior sandra Johansson's initial shot was saved by the Pacers goalkeeper, and fell to the feet of senior Felicia Pajamaki, who was able to slot the ball into the back of the open net.

The Cougars added a second when junior Charlotte Thibault overlapped freshman Ashleigh Yando down the left side, received a pass, and dribbled in towards goal beating three defenders before sending a driven ball across the ball to Johansson. Johansson managed to get in front of both the defender and goalkeeper to slip the ball in near post.

Junior Emma Olsson added her first goal of the season when she jumped over her defenders to head the ball in off Johansson's corner.

William Peace (2-14-2, 1-10-1 USA South) scored before the first half was over to make the score 3-1.

Averett added a fourth, and final goal, when Yando played a ball into the feet of Johansson from the left side, and Johansson smashed the ball in bottom left corner from the edge of the 18-yard box.

The Pacers added a second goal before the end of regulation.
