Box Score CLARKSVILLE - Austin Peay State University women's soccer
team ran roughshod over visiting Chattanooga, Sunday, at Morgan Brothers Field.
Two goals from junior Tatiana Ariza, including the game-winner, led the Lady
Govs to a 4-1 victory against the Mocs.
"It was a great game for us," said head coach Kelley Guth. "We
put the pieces of the puzzle together today. We talked after our loss Friday
about executing better and they really did it today."
After giving up early goals in their previous two losses,
the Lady Govs were the first to strike on Sunday. Junior Andy Quiceno netted
her season's third goal to open scoring in the fifth minute, receiving a feed
from senior Emily Perkins and burying it into the back of the net.
Chattanooga (1-3-1) would answer less than a minute later,
with Becca Smith scoring off of a Hannah Wyatt corner kick.
In the 28th minute, Austin Peay's (3-3-0) Tatiana Ariza
scored her season's first goal, taking a low cross from her sister Natalia and
burying the shot from about 15 yards out for the eventual game-winner.
Perkins netted a goal of her own in the 56th minute, playing
a deflection in the box from Taylor Van Wagner and beating the keeper for her
season's third goal. The goal gives Perkins sole possession of seventh
place-all time in Lady Govs history.
Tatiana Ariza added another insurance goal in the 59th
minute to cap off the scoring. She now has six career multi-goal games.
"I think Tatiana has got her timing back a little bit," Guth
said. "We knew it would take some time to transition back into our schemes and
how we play. She's getting better each game."
Junior keeper Haylee Shoaff was solid in the net, picking up
her season's second win. She made two saves, while Chattanooga's Lauren Thomas
made four.
Offensively, Austin Peay attacked the net for much of the
day. The Lady Govs attempted a season-high 25 shots, putting eight on goal. Tatiana Ariza had eight shots, four on goal, while both Andy and Joceline Quiceno and
Morgan Zigelsky took three shots and put one on net.
The Lady Govs also held a free post-match clinic for area
kids. More than 30 kids participated in drills and games with Austin Peay
coaches and players.
The Lady Govs next head north for a 4 p.m., Friday, match at
Miami (Ohio). Austin Peay returns to Morgan Brothers Field for a three-match
homestand beginning at 7 p.m., Sept. 14 against South Alabama.
