GAFFNEY, S.C. -- Freshman Jessica Kleinberg scored the
game-winning goal in the 54th minute off an assist from fellow
freshman Carrie Settle, as the Anderson women's soccer team
stretched its win streak to six matches with a 1-0 road win past
Limestone in Conference Carolinas action Wednesday afternoon at
Saints Field. Senior Larissa Fedorowich ignited the game-winning
touch with a long ball to Kleinberg, who shielded the delivery from
a Saints' defender while Settle gained control, then fed the ball
back to Kleinberg for the winner. With the win streak Anderson
improved to 9-8 overall and 7-3 in the league and has recorded the
most conference wins in school history, while equaling the longest
win streak in AU women's soccer history. The Trojans also collected
six consecutive victories in 2001. Limestone dropped to 6-10
overall and 5-5 in conference play. "It was another complete team
effort," said Anderson head coach Jason Dowiak. "And it may have
been our best defensive effort of the season." The Trojans were
outshot 14-7 on the afternoon and Limestone held a 6-4 edge in
shots on goal, but AU posted a 4-3 advantage on corner kicks.
Kleinberg notched three shots, while Ashley Cotton recorded two and
Carrie Settle and Catherine Thomas each posted two attempts. "Kelli
[Whitfield] played an outstanding game in goal," Dowiak added of
senior Kelli Whitfield's effort between the pipes for the Trojans.
The native of Anderson went the full 90 minutes and recorded six
saves en route to picking up her second shutout of the season.
Anderson, which is battling for position in the conference
tournament, closes out the regular season on the road at Mount
Olive on Saturday. Kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. in the first
contest of a women's - men's doubleheader at Amon Field. Game
