SPARTANS DOWN BOBCATS IN PBC SOCCER TILT
Trawick Lifts Spartans Over Bobcats
Spartanburg, S.C. - Nicole Trawick was in the right place at the right time, sliding a shot by the Georgia College & State University keeper in the 83rd minute to lift USC Upstate to a 1-0 victory in Peach Belt Conference women’s soccer action Friday night at County University Soccer Stadium.
The win keeps USC Upstate undefeated in league play at 3-0-0 and improves the Spartans’ record to 4-4-1 on the year. GCSU falls to 3-2-2 overall and 1-1-2 in the conference. USC Upstate next plays on Tuesday when Mars Hill comes to County University Soccer Stadium for a 7:00 p.m. match. GCSU hosts league foe Columbus State Wednesday night at 7:00.
Both teams battled back and forth throughout the physical match until GCSU put together a run of shots late in the match. The Bobcats pressured the USC Upstate defense for seven shots in the final 20 minutes of play. However, USC Upstate goalkeeper Diana Wabnitz kept GCSU off the board, finishing with six saves on the night, four coming in the final 20 minutes of play.
While USC Upstate was being pressured, the Spartans came up huge when it counted. After a foul was called on GCSU 35 yards out near the left sideline, USC Upstate was awarded a free kick. Britnney Briones took the free kick and sent a high cross to the center of the box. The ball was knocked around a couple of times before Trawick took control and slid a shot into the net to give USC Upstate the 1-0 lead with less than eight minutes left to play.
The goal was all that USC Upstate needed as Wabnitz took the win and the shutout, her third of the season. GCSU goalkeeper Kristen Moore made four saves on the night.
GCSU outshot USC Upstate 12-8 for the match and held a slim 3-2 lead in corner kicks. The physical match finished with 37 combined fouls and eight yellow cards.

CSU SOCCER ROUTS GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN 5-0
Columbus, GA - CSU and Georgia Southwestern battled to a scoreless tie for 29 minutes before CSU erupted for five unanswered goals in a 5-0 shutout on Wednesday at the CSU Soccer complex. CSU set a new school mark with 42 shot attempts, breaking the old record of 31 set last season against North Georgia. The mark also broke the PBC record for most shots in a PBC match. The previous record was 37 shots by USC Spartanburg against North Florida in 2004.
CSU had countless opportunities to score in the first 20 minutes, but numerous shots either hit the post or were wide. Sam Freedman finally dented the scoring column were her first goal of the season at the 29:04 mark. Freedman was on the spot as Megan Honig's free kick rebounded off the Hurricane keeper. Sarah Hawkins gave CSU a 2-0 lead two minutes later with an unassisted goal. The Lady Cougars took the 2-0 lead into the locker room at the half.
The second half was much of the same with three CSU goals - one each by Toni Phillips (assist by Hawkins), Hannah Ospina, and Rachel Walthall.
GSW (0-2, 0-1 PBC), held without a shot for most of the contest, was able to put up just three shot attempts in the second half.
CSU held an 11-0 advantage on corner kicks. CSU (3-1, 1-0 PBC) will next host UNC Pembroke in a PBC match on Saturday at 1:00 PM at the CSU Soccer Complex.

SMITH NAMED GC&SU ASSISTANT COACH
Photo caption: Maurice SmithCourtesy of Georgia College & State University
MILLEDGEVILLE, Georgia – Maurice Smith has been named the assistant coach for the Georgia College & State University women’s basketball program. Smith, a former graduate assistant with the GCSU men’s basketball program, takes over for Tabitha Vasilas, who left the school recently after two years to pursue other interests.
“I’m very excited,” Smith said. “This is a great opportunity for me, and I look forward to working with Coach (John) Carrick to help the team continue its success.
”Smith is not a stranger to GCSU basketball. The Americus native played two seasons for the Bobcats from 1999-2001, helping the GCSU men’s team win a conference title and reach the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in 2000. “Moe”, as he is known around campus, earned his undergraduate degree in 2001 and recently completed his master’s degree at the school as well last spring.
Smith served as a student-assistant under GCSU men’s basketball head coach Terry Sellers in 2003-04 before spending the last two seasons as a graduate assistant coach with the Bobcats.“Maurice has been around our programs for the last six years, and we already know so much about his character,” Lady Bobcats Coach John Carrick said. “His high school coach (Darren Wilkins, formerly of Sumter County HS) was a former assistant for me, so I knew Moe when he was being recruited to play here. He knows how our program works, and he knows the state of Georgia as far as recruiting. The only adjustment for him is working with females instead of males, but I think he’s already hit the ground running, and the girls like and respect him. So it’s a win-win situation.
”The Lady Bobcats went 17-14 overall last year and got hot at the right time, winning the 2006 Peach Belt Conference Tournament to receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the last five years.

WEST GEORGIA SOCCER STUNS COLUMBUS STATE
Columbus, GA - Columbus State dominated play against West Georgia on Sunday in all but one category - the score. West Georgia stole a 1-0 win from the Lady Cougars in the final game of the Cougar Invitational Soccer Classic. The Wolves move to 1-2 on the season, while CSU falls to 2-1.
Neither team could get on the scoreboard in the opening half. CSU out-shot the visitors 6-2 in the period, missing several point-blank opportunities. Wolves keeper Jennifer Ross made a pair of solid saves in the six shots she faced as the half ended in a 0-0 tie.
CSU got the first real scoring opportunity of the second half, but Hillary Holder's punch shot caught the crossbar in the 48th minute. West Georgia then cashed in on its first real scoring threat of the day in the 50th minute. The CSU defense sloppily handled a loose ball and West Georgia was able to dump it into the zone where Brittany Carr found the loose ball streaking down the left side and slid a crossing shot past Monica Sanchez for a 1-0 lead. Carr, ironically, was injured on the shot as she apparently suffered an ankle injury and would leave the game.
CSU then took control of the pace of play again, spending most of the half in the offensive end of the field. The Lady Cougars would go on to out-shoot the Wolves 11-4 in the half, but Ross collected three saves and CSU had a couple of shots blocked by defenders. The Lady Cougars' best chance to tie the game came with just 23 seconds to play as Gina Goforth apparently had Ross beaten but her shot rolled just wide of the left post to preserve the win for the Wolves.
Sanchez posted three saves in goal for CSU, facing only six shots on the day. CSU peppered Ross with 17 shots and she responded with five saves. CSU held a 3-1 advantage in corner kicks while West Georgia held the edge in fouls 10-9. There were no cards or cautions issued in the game.
CSU will host Peach Belt Conference newcomer Georgia Southwestern on Wednesday at 4 PM at the CSU Complex, while West Georgia will next be in action on Friday as they host Eckerd College in Carrollton.

Analysis: Yes, it's only the second year of competition for this program, but the University of West Georgia women's soccer team earned perhaps its biggest win in its brief history by knocking off CSU. Surely, a win like this could set the tone for the rest of the season. It'll be interesting to see how things will unfold for the Wolves from this point on.
