LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN -- In the final home game of the regular season, the Lady Scots soccer team faced off with Berry College.  For seniors Jane Brandon, Hannah Brown, Kasey Craft, and Dana Streufert, a 4-year experience of playing soccer on Scotland Yard came to an end with a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the visiting Lady Vikings.  Berry’s Rachel Leroy was able to find the back of the net in the 56th minute of play, and the Vikings maintained that same lead for the remainder of the match.

 

Berry’s record is now 11-3-1 while Covenant’s drops to 8-8-2, remaining 6-1-1 in the Great South.

 

In the first half, Berry outshot Covenant 3 to 1, but the Lady Scots held an advantage on restarts as they had 5 corner kicks to Berry’s 2.  After the break, Teagan Wood and Katelyn Newsome missed on two scoring chances before Leroy was able to break the tie.
