CLINTON, S.C. - Presbyterian College women's soccer had a stellar night to post a landmark 3-0 win over UNC Asheville on Saturday night.  The win is PC's first ever against the Bulldogs in the third meeting of the programs.  The Blue Hose scored just before the halftime break and twice in the final ten minutes to secure the victory.  Prior to the match, PC unveiled new home uniforms.

PC improves to 5-7-1 on the year and 2-1-0 in the Big South while UNC Asheville falls to 1-10-0 overall and 0-3-0 in league play.

"That was an amazing win," said head coach Brian Purcell.  "It was awesome to score three goals but our defense played exceptionally tonight.  Our team gained confidence throughout the match and it really showed in the result.

A shot by Emily Boggus in the fifth minute was the first major challenge of the match.  The attempt from just a few yards off the goal line was saved by the Asheville keeper before hitting the crossbar and going for a corner kick.

In the final minute before the halftime break, Lauren Snyder got the ball and made a terrific run down the wing and made some space for herself at the edge of the penalty area.  The junior ripped a shot from 15 yards which bested the Asheville goalkeeper for a goal.  The score is Snyder's first of the season and gave the Blue Hose an important 1-0 lead into the intermission.

In the 73^rd minute, PC had a goal disallowed due to offisdes.  A cross by Lauren Snyder was mishandled by the Asheville goalkeeper.  Rebecca Miller was on hand to strike the loose ball towards goal.  The ball didn't have enough pace to cross the line so Katie Hunter helped the ball into the net.  Unfortunately for PC, she was in an offiside position when the ball was hit by Miller.

In the 81^st minute, the Blue Hose doubled the advantage with a goal off the boot of Rebecca Miller.  The freshman tallied her second goal as she chipped the goalkeeper from 20 yards out.  She was assisted by fellow freshman Stephanie Allen.

Just six minutes later, PC sealed the rout with another chip-shot goal.  This time the final strike came from Sara Simpson for her first collegiate goal.  She was assisted by Miller who finishes on three points for the night.

Sarah Beth Anderson and the entire PC defense played an exquisite 90 minute of soccer to post their fifth shutout of the season.  Anderson made 11 saves in the match as Asheville out-shot PC, 20-16.

PC visits Coastal Carolina next Saturday starting at 7 p.m.
