GREENVILLE, S.C. – Coming off a perfect weekend and a Southern Athletic Association weekly honor, the No. 15-ranked Centre women's soccer team (6-1) traveled out to the east coast to take on Bob Jones (5-3) on Tuesday night. The Colonels put up one of their best offensive performances so far in the season, winning on a final score of 3-1.
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
- Although
Bella Nelson took the first shot in the game for the Gold and White, Bob Jones was the first to strike with a goal in the 11th minute.
-
Megan Sidaway would score the game's equalizer in an astounding bicycle kick to the left side of the goal, coming off a kick by
Mills Mullen that bounced high to Sidaway.
- The teams would enter halftime tied, but Sidaway would push the Colonels ahead with her second goal of the day, jumping over a Bruin defender for a header to the right side off a corner kick from Mullen.
- Centre wouldn't take their foot off the gas pedal with their lead,
Maggie Corbett firing a perfect shot to the upper right side of the net from outside the box just a couple minutes off Sidaway's second goal.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
- Sidaway's pair of scores is the fourth multi-goal game of her collegiate career, the first for the program since
Taylor Gebhart's pair in the 3-0 win against Hendrix last season.
- The Colonels' 29 shots are the most they've put up in a single game this season, a feat they accomplished three times in the 2021 season.
