BREVARD, N.C. - The Brevard College women's soccer team (1-1) picked up its first victory of the new season on Saturday evening, defeating Carolina University (0-2) by a final of 3-1.

Tae Brown, a sophomore forward from Mooresville, North Carolina, distributed two assists in the contest, while Alyssa Hetherington, Taylor Richardson, and Ashley Royster all found the back of the net for the Tornados. Olivia Grisewood dished out the first assist of her collegiate career on Hetherington's score. 

Rebeccah Rojas (1-1) earned the victory in goal for the Tornados, stopping four shots. 

Hayden Pacheco led the way for the Bruins, scoring the squad's lone goal of the contest. 

Grisewood played in a ball from past the right box in the 14th minute, as the ball found the body of Hetherington and trickled into the back of the net. Pacheco answered back, taking a pass from the wing into the middle and squaring up a shot that got past the outstretched arms of Rojas and into the lower left side of the net. 

In the 38th minute, Brown dispossessed a Bruin defender near the end line, controlling the ball and placing it in perfect position for the Richardson tap-in that broke the deadlock, 2-1.

With just over 30 minutes left to play, Brown took the ball on the right side, whipping it to a wide-open Royster who was able to slot the shot past the Bruin GK. 

BC narrowly outshot Carolina Univ., 11-10, while the Tornados took four corner kicks to CU's one. 

Brevard returns to action on Tuesday when the Tornados host Southern Virginia University at 4 p.m.
