BELMONT, N.C. -- The record-breaking season for the Anderson women's soccer team came to a disappointing end Saturday as top-seeded Belmont Abbey held off the third-seeded Trojans upset bid, 2-1, in the Conference Carolinas tournament championship Saturday afternoon at Alumni Field. All the scoring happened early and two quick goals proved costly for the Trojans as Belmont Abbey forwards Connie Axiotis and Erika Trivisonno scored first half goals in the first 13 minutes, while all-conference selection Jessica Kleinberg posted AU's lone goal at the 13:04 mark. The Abbey, which claimed its seventh Conference Carolinas title, moved to 14-5, while Anderson ended its season with a record of 12-9. With several new faces, the Trojans began the season slowly, but AU caught fire in mid-October, winning a school-record eight regular-season league contests in 2009 and posted a nine-match win streak, another school record. Axiotis put Crusaders ahead just 3:09 into the contest, as she ran down a long pass from Alana Ryczek, dribbled twice and lifted a shot past AU goalkeeper Kelli Whitfield for the goal. Nine minutes later, Trivisonno upped the lead to 2-0. After beating a defender, Trivisonno ripped a shot from 10 yards out that Whtifield caught, but was unable to control as she was cradling it to her chest, the ball spun out of her grasp backwards and trickled just inside the right goalpost. Less than one minute later, Anderson cut the lead in half as Ashley Cotton sent a long pass to Kleinberg, who dribbled down the right side and fired a shot past Kelsey Lovell for the goal. From there, both defenses took charge through the rest of the first half, but both teams had plenty of scoring chances in the second, the best coming by Nicole Voets, who was standing all alone in front of the goal, but Whitfield smothered it. The Abbey outshot Anderson 10-5 and took all three corner kicks in the match. Both teams were whistled for 15 fouls each. Whitfield made one save, while Lovell collected four. Anderson senior forward Larissa Fedorowich joined Kleinberg and Carrie Settle on the all-tournament team. Game Stats Season Stats
