FLORENCE, S.C. - After missing a penalty kick earlier in the match, Kaili Terry sent an 89th-minute free kick flying past the goalkeeper and lifted the Campbell women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Francis Marion in Friday's exhibition match.

The teams played three 30-minute periods in high temperatures and thick humidity.

Francis Marion jumped in front in the 22nd minute when Michelle Brown collected a deflection from teammate Rebeccah Hoekstra in the box and put her shot past Campbell freshman goalie Lauren Frick.

Campbell knotted the score in the 35th minute after Ashley Wagner's corner kick was unsuccessfully cleared by the FMU defense. Freshman Pirjo Leppikangas eventually gathered the ball and hammered it past Patriot keeper Casey Durham.

CU could have taken the lead just two minutes later when Kirsty Meyer chipped a ball over the backline to Cissy Nitz, who earned a penalty kick after being taken down in the box by FMU's Kristina Marra. However, Durham saved Terry's penalty and the ensuing rebound shot from Caitlin Schneider.

The Camels outshot the Patriots 14-4 over the final 60 minutes of the contest and hit the post on Terry's headed effort in the 74th minute, but were unable to seize control until Terry's game-winner.

"Francis Marion is a team we've always had difficult games with," said fifth-year head coach Todd Clark. "They're very organized and prepared and made the most of the chances we gave them. Even though we started very rough we finished very strong. All in all, it was a successful exhibition-we walk away knowing some things we're good at and some things we need to improve."

The Camels outshot the Patriots 17-5 and played three goalies, with junior Jamie Panfil, freshman Lauren Frick and senior Anna DiTommaso each playing 30 minutes.

Campbell returns to action next Friday (Aug. 20) when they host Western Carolina in their 2010 regular season opener. The match is slated for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
