Presbyterian Blanks Southern Wesleyan on Senior Night

CLINTON, S.C. – Behind two second half goals and a stout defense performance the Presbyterian Blue Hose (3-1) blanked the Southern Wesleyan Warriors, 2-0, on Senior Night in Martin Stadium.
 
After the game, the Blue Hose honored seniors Sophia Thomson, Sarah Dieffenderfer, Gwen Keiser, Madison Hindman, and Kelly Hall.
 
 FROM COACH SMITH
"Senior night is always an interesting one," said Presbyterian women's soccer coach Matt Smith.  "It is an emotional night celebrating players who have given so much to the program. I am happy we came out with a win. I thought we defended well. Southern Wesleyan did as well, they made it hard for us. We had to work for it. We made some adjustments in the second half; the players took to it and we saw the results in the second half."
 
Coach Smith on the Senior class
"The biggest thing coming in is that you need to get buy-in from your leaders. Seniors having been here so long are automatically leaders. The way they have accepted me and bought into what we are doing every day. I couldn't be happier for them for the success we have had so far."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • In the 56th minute, Presbyterian's Sloan Speas had the ball about 10 yards in front of the goal and she passed to Dieffenderfer who blasted a shot into the upper right corner of the goal. Dieffenderfer's goal was her first of the season.
  • In the 73rd minute, Presbyterian scored their second goal on Isabel Lasota's beautiful shot from the top of the box that went into the upper right corner of the goal. Lasota's goal was her first of the season.
 
NOTABLES
