Hard-Luck Cavaliers Upended by Tennessee Wesleyan in
Overtime
By Christian Malone
Saturday, the Cavalier soccer team
travelled to Athens, Tennessee to battle
Tennessee Wesleyan, where they fell in
another hearlbreaker, 3-2 in overtime, to
drop to 5-11-1.
The outcome was just another in a
series of results which seem to indicate
that the Cavs might be snakebitten. Down
1- 0 at the half, the Cavaliers wiped out the
lead early in the second half as Dee Polk
put one into the Bulldog net, his first goal
of the season. A few minutes later, Scott
Kilgore hammered home his team-leading
17"’ goal of the season, giving the Cavs a
2- 1 lead. The score would stay that way
until the end of the game, and it looked as
though they would pull off the victory.
However, as has been the case on more
than one occasion this fall, fate would be
cruel to the Cavaliers in the end.
With less than a minute to go, the
Bulldogs were traveling up the field when
the sideline referee raised his flag to call a
penalty. Both teams stopped, assuming an
offsides call was forthcoming. But rather
than call the penalty, the referee told the
players to play on, and a Bulldog player
sprinted down the field, unopposed by
anyone e.xcept goalkeeper Letendre, and
scored to tie the game at two.
Time expired, and the game went into
overtime. Tennessee Wesleyan scored
early in overtime, and then held off the
Cavs. The outcome was like deja vu for
the Cavs, who fell to Bluefield in almost
Moore’s Hat Trick Leads Lady
Cavs Over Southern Wesleyan
By Christian Malone
Sarah Ruth Moore scored three
goals, notching her first career hat trick,
to lead the Lady Cavaliers to a 4-0 rout
of Southern Wesleyan Monday after
noon at the Montreat Soccer Complex
in Black Mountain.
Moore’s hat trick was a big boost
for the Lady Cavs. The freshman from
Mooresville, North Carolina, had four
goals on the season coming into the
game. But on Monday, she stepped up
her game, and her teammates were able
to get the ball in to her a number of
times near the Southern Wesleyan goal.
Her performance was a big boost to the
women’s team, who were without two
of their top three scorers, Erin Delamar
and Lisa Minus, as well as sweeper
Rebekah Walters.
In a sloppy first half, the Lady Cavs
controlled the ball for most of the half,
yet were unable to put the ball into the
net. Late in the half, though, Moore’s
blast from 13 yards away into the left
side of the goal made it 1-0.
In the second half, the Lady
Cavaliers turned up their play a little bit,
and flattened the opposition. Moore
nailed two more past the flailing South
ern Wesleyan goalie, her sixth and
seventh goals of the season. Elena
Zamora added her first goal of the
season to finish the scoring at 4-0.
Goalie Laurie Preston, though rarely
tested by the Southern Wesleyan
offense, was a brick wall when the ball
came her way. The shutout was her
fifth of the season, and lowered her
goals-against-average to around 1.80.
Afterwards, the team almost
unanimously agreed that, though happy
with the victory, they should have
utterly annihilated the opposition, but
made far too many mistakes in the
victory.
The victory improved the Lady
Cavs’ record to 10-8 and kept them on
track for a playoff showdown with
Covenant, who beat them 2-0 earlier
this season.
