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.
