Lady Eagles Upset by Lenoir-Rhyne

The Carson-Newman Lady Eagles fell to Lenoir Rhyne, 2-1 Saturday, Sept. 22 at McCown Field.. After a scoreless first half, Carson-Newman (9-2, 0-1) got on the board first when Julie Nelson scored on a goal on a corner kick by Zarmena Kasparites four minutes into the 2nd half. Carson-Newman continued to dominate the game until Lenoir Rhyne (5-2-1, 1-0) scored off a corner kick, with Lauren Rosch getting the point 75 minutes in. Lenoir-Rhyne would then take the lead 2-1 with a breakaway goal by Rebecca Lin with two minutes remaining.

"It just shows what a cruel game soccer can be sometimes," stated C-N Head Coach Phil McNamara, "you can dominate for 90 minutes and still lose a game. You have to play hard until the final minute. I was not disappointed with our girls' performance, just the result." C-N will seek to rebound Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. at Mars Hill before returning to Jefferson City to host Catawba, Saturday, Oct. 6 at 2:00 p.m.
