SALISBURY, NC -- Senior McKenzie Burman scored the lone goal as the host Catawba Indians knocked off 10th-ranked Columbus State 1-0 in women’s soccer action on Wednesday night at Frock Field. Catawba improve to 10-2-2, while the Lady Cougars fall to 14-2 and see a 12-match winning streak come to an end.
Columbus State had the best opportunity of the first half, but Gina Goforth had a shot from 10 yards out saved by Kathleen Blake at the near post. The match remained scoreless until just past the hour when Burman headed home a cross from freshman Tasha Wilhelm.
Blake made five saves in goal for Catawba to notch her fifth shutout. Monica Sanchez (Riverview, FL) also had five saves for Columbus State.
The loss was the first for CSU since falling 1-0 to West Georgia on September 3. The Lady Cougars had put together a school-record 12-game win streak, besting the previous record of 10 straight set last season. CSU has still not allowed more than one goal in a game this season.
The Lady Cougars will play their final regular-season home game on Friday at the CSU complex, as they host another tough region opponent in Mars Hill College. Opening kick is set for 5 PM.
