PC Obtains Third Straight Shutout Win

BUIES CREEK, N.C.- Kate Baker (Forsyth, Ga.) scored a first half goal before Millie Green (Columbia, S.C.) struck in the second half to lift Presbyterian past Campbell 2-0 Wednesday night at the Eakes Athletic Complex.

Baker, a freshman forward, broke the tie in the 28th-minute of play as she took a Christy Howard (Lilburn, Ga.) cross and punched the ball past Campbell keeper Boomie Luck. The goal was Baker's fourth of the season.

PC extended its lead in the 66th-minute as Maggie Carruth (Roswell, Ga.) set the stage for Millie Green. Green capitalized on Carruth's floating cross, striking a volley into the top left corner of the net that extended the margin to 2-0.

Presbyterian finished with a 13-11 edge in shots, including a 7-3 advantage in shots on goal. Campbell keeper Boomie Luck collected five saves, while Presbyterian's Abby Young (Charlotte, N.C.) tallied three.
