Emory, Va. – Senior Ashley Hughes came through in the clutch for the Tornados Women's Soccer team in their Friday night matchup against the Emory & Henry Wasps.
This bout had the makings of Brevard's final exhibition match-up. The Tornados controlled the shot count for the entirety of the game, outshooting Emory & Henry by a tally of 18 to 7 (10-3 SOG). Hughes found the back of the net unassisted on a loose ball approx. 6 yards from the edge of the box. The 82nd-minute difference maker was Hughes first goal on the year and 7th of her career.
Caroline David and Megan Shina led the way for the Tornados with 6 & 5 shots a piece (4 & 3 SOG). Starting goalie Rebecca Rojas snagged three saves on the night and picked up the win in goal for Brevard. Rojas improves her career record to 10-5-1 and earns her third career shutout.
Plenty of Tornados saw their first career action dawning the blue and black, including Alyssa Hetherington, Aliyah Vaughan, Chloe Proffitt, and Abbie Petrosky.
Brevard continues their road trip as they head to face Oglethorpe this Sunday at 3:00 pm.
