Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College Tornados Women's Soccer team (5-2-0) won its third straight game with a 2-0 victory over Averett (2-7) on Sunday afternoon at Ives-Lamel Field.
Megan Shina scored the match's first goal in the fifth minute of the match, her sixth goal of the 2018 season. Shina's goal came off an assist by Ashley Hughes, the second assist of the season for Hughes.
Just 90 seconds later, Hughes then found the back of the net herself off an assist by Emma White. The goal marked the ninth of the year and the fourth of the weekend for Hughes who recorded a hat trick in Saturday's 7-0 win over Berea College. Hughes now leads the USA South Conference in goals scored (9) and total points (20) on the season.
The Brevard defense, along with BC goalkeeper Rebeccah Rojas handled matters from there, shutting out the Cougars for the entire 90 minutes. It marked the second straight shutout for the BC defense which limited Averett to just four total shots.
The match wrapped up a dominant Homecoming Weekend for the Tornados who outscored their opponents 9-0 and out-shot their opponents by a whopping 37-9 over the weekend's two matches.
The Tornados will return to action on Saturday, Sept. 29 with a USA South Conference road match at Agnes Scott at 2 p.m. in Decatur, Ga. The next home match for the Tornados will be at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6 vs. Covenant Ives-Lamel Field.
