Game Recap: Women's Soccer | | by Jason Hanes

Vikings Post Back-to-Back Wins

A pair of second-half goals lifted Berry's women's soccer team to a 2-0 victory over Covenant in Lookout Mountain, Ga., giving the Vikings back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Berry (3-2) dominated in shots in the first half, but couldn't get anything into the back of the net. In the 60th minute, the scoreboard would change for the first time for the visitors. Karsen Brantley delivered a corner into the center of the box. Hannah Henn would nod the ball down, bouncing it just inside the post to give the Vikings the 1-0 advantage.

In the 80th minute, a tremendous individual effort gave Berry its second goal of the game. Mia Ries would split two defenders on a pass into the Covenant (2-2-1)defensive zone, reaching the ball first before taking a shot that arced over the Scots' keeper and into the back of the net just inside the far post. The goal doubled Berry's lead to 2-0 with just 10 minutes left.

Berry's defense allowed just two weak shots on goal, both of which were saved by Julia Massa to enable the freshman to pick up her second clean sheet in as many games.

The Vikings will return home to face Maryville this Friday night as part of a doubleheader with the Berry men's team. Action at Bob Pearson Field begins at 5 p.m.
