Senior goalkeeper Vanessa Fyffe played the final 58 minutes for the Pioneers (14-3-1) on senior night, making two saves in relief of Rachael Jennings, who started the match and did not face a shot through the initial 33 minutes. Durden paced the Pioneers with a goal and an assist, while Turner tied a career-high with two helpers. Kourtney Kavic, Cassy Melnike and Claire Duncan each found the back of the net for the Pioneers, as freshman Chelsea Slayter capped TC's four-goal first half with her first collegiate goal. Tusculum opened the scoring less than two minutes into the first half, when Kavic took control of a cross from Durden inside the Wesleyan area and delivered a perfect finish into the back of net for her sixth goal of the season. Tennessee Wesleyan erased the shutout bid mid way through the 89th minute when Helen Collins headed a cross from Kelly Stanton inside the far post to cut the margin to 5-1. Tusculum plays on Saturday when the Pioneers travel to Lenoir-Rhyne. Copyright © 2010, The Greeneville Sun |
