Box Score By Karen Allen

Spartanburg, S.C.—After dropping the season opener on Thursday night, the Lady Hawks got on the right track Sunday evening as they defeated Converse College 3-0, to earn their first win of the season.

The game remained scoreless for most of the first half, as Shorter didn't get on the board until the 42nd minute, when Cintia Lamas scored her first goal of the season on a feed from Casey Gregg.

At the half, the Lady Hawks held the advantage in shots by an 11-2 margin. However, Gabie Chamberland, the Converse goalie, was able to keep her team in the game by making six saves during the first 45 minutes.

Shorter scored twice more in the second half. The first was on a goal from Kelli Davis at the 60:54 mark, with Helena Farinha recording the assist. Carleigh Butcher netted the final goal for the Lady Hawks with just over four minutes to play to give the Lady Hawks the 3-0 victory.

In the second period, Shorter added nine shots to their total to finish the game with a total of 20.

Taylor Hays played the complete game in goal for the Lady Hawks, making three saves.  Chamberland finished the game with seven saves for Converse.

Shorter women's soccer will be back in action Friday, September 13, as they travel to Milledgeville, Ga. to take on Queens College as part of the Bobcat Shootout hosted by Georgia College and State University.
