Women Knock Off Jaguars, Improve to 2-0

Spelman struck first with a goal off the head of Taylor Tindle in the first half to give the Jags a 1-0 lead. Working hard for the equalizer, the Petrels got it in the game's 55th minute when Lexi Vassell used her head to find an open Shannon Dougherty who cracked a left-footed goal into the back of the net.
 
The match looked headed for overtime until sophomore Eliza Newland blasted a free kick past Spelman's keeper for the game winner in the 82nd minute. Newland's shot came from 25 yards out and could not be stopped by the Jags Amanda Tyler.
 
For the night, Spelman managed 8 shots while Oglethorpe got off 7. Four of the Petrels shots were on target while only three of the Jaguars shots made it on goal.
 
The Petrels are back in action next Thursday afternoon when they take on Tennessee Temple at 3:30 p.m. on Salamone Field.
