Box score
ANDERSON, S.C. - Anderson's Jessica Kleinberg scored the lone
goal of the contest in the 81st minute, as the Trojans shut out
visiting Carson-Newman, 1-0, in women's soccer conference action
Saturday afternoon at Trojan Stadium.
Anderson (4-5, 1-2 SAC) wrapped up its three-match homestand by
notching its first conference victory of the 2011 campaign,
courtesy of Kleinberg's third game-winner of the season and eighth
of her career.
The Trojans snapped a three-match skid with the win - the
seventh one-goal decision of the season - while Carson-Newman
dropped to 3-3 overall and 1-1 in conference action.
Anderson avenged last season's setback to the Lady Eagles behind
a stout defense and an opportunistic offense.
The Trojans got off two shots and three corner kicks in the
first 19 minutes of action, while limiting the visitors to one shot
and a solo corner in the opening 22 minutes.
Neither team was able to find the back of the net until freshman
Summer Miller, who was on the right side, found Kleinberg and the
junior from Hamilton, Ohio, fired her attempt from the right side
of the box past the Carson-Newman keeper with 9:13 remaining in the
contest.
Each team recorded 11 shots on the afternoon and were also even
in shots on goal, with eight apiece. The Lady Eagles held a narrow,
4-3, edge in corner kicks.
AU goalkeeper Kaitlyn Neipp went the distance to earn the win,
while collecting eight saves. Carson-Newman net minder Sarah
Thomkins suffered the loss, while garnering seven saves on the
afternoon.
After playing six matches in 15 days, the Trojans will enjoy a
six-day lay-off before looking to build momentum off the win at
Catawba on Saturday, Oct. 1. Kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m.
versus the Indians.
