Campbell Tops Stetson 1-0; Extends Win Streak to Nine
Erin Switalski Breaks Campbell Single Season Shut Out Record
BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Sara Davis scored her seventh goal of the
year in the 68th minute of play, leading Campbell to a 1-0 victory
over Stetson in Atlantic Sun women's soccer Saturday in Buies
Creek.
With the win, the Camels extend their winning streak to nine
overall, and eight in the A-Sun. The win improves CU's record to
11-6-0 overall and ties a school for conference wins as its now
stands at 8-1-0.
The first-half saw sluggish play from both the teams. Campbell
out shot Stetson 6-2.
The match remained scoreless until the 67:29 mark. Susan
Persson collected a loose ball just outside the box. Persson played
a through ball to Davis who went in alone and beat Hatter keeper
April Eilering, giving the Camels the only goal they would
need.
Stetson threatened late in the second half to tie the match.
Its best scoring opportunity came in the 85th minute when Carrie
Lorenz's pass found an open Carolina Crevatin who drew Camel keeper
Erin Switalski out, but her right-footed shot missed wide to the
right.
The Camels out shot the Hatters
13-9 for the match, while the Hatters held a 5-2 advantage in
corner kicks.
Switalski made three saves to earn her eighth shut out
of the year, breaking the Campbell single season record previously
held by Liz Neidlinger, who had seven in 1994. Eilering finished
with seven saves.
Campbell will close out the regular season Wednesday when they
travel to Boiling Springs, N.C. to take on Gardner-Webb at 3:00
p.m. Stetson will host Jacksonville on Wednesday in a 3:00 p.m.
kick off. [Box Score]
