KENNESAW, Ga. - After playing a scoreless first half, the Kennesaw State women's soccer team erupted for six second-half goals, including three by Annie Phillips, as the Owls cruised to an easy 6-2 win over Gardner-Webb on Senior Night at the KSU Soccer Complex.
"This was a good win for us tonight," said head coach Rob King. "This gives us confidence heading into what we hope will be a great battle with Mercer next week. Hopefully both teams will come through that match healthy."
After a defensive struggle in the first half, KSU (14-3, 9-1 A-Sun) broke through as Phillips scored in the 52nd minute after beating GWU keeper, Sarah Wyszynski, on a 1-on-1 off a beautiful pass from Maylee Attin-Johnson.
It wouldn't take the Bulldogs (6-11, 4-6 A-Sun) long to respond as Lindsey Gladhill scored the first of her two goals just two minutes later off a free kick from Angie Harvey to knot the game 1-1.
Caitlin Dingle broke the tie in the 57th minute with her 14th goal of the season as she broke though two defenders and fired a rocket to the top right corner to pout the Owls ahead 2-1.
