Tenner paces Bishop women in 8-1 victory over Peace

Rocky Mount, NC - Senior Tori Tenner tallied two goals and an assist on Saturday afternoon, leading her North Carolina Wesleyan women's soccer team to an 8-1 victory over Peace College at Scalf Field.  Tenner (pictured) scored the game's first goal off a Rachel Hernandez corner kick in the sixth minute and later netted the Bishops' fifth goal.  Wesleyan now stands at 3-4-1 on the season, 1-1-1 in USA South play.  The Pacers drop to 2-9 overall, 0-4 in the league.

Freshman Carolina Mussi gave the Bishops a 2-0 lead with an unassisted goal at the 19:39 mark.  PC's Harlonda Smith cut the lead in half with a Pacer score just seven minutes later on a Heather Honeycutt assist.

Peace, however, would get no closer as Aubrey Bonorden, Courtney Jamieson, and Tenner all scored goals before the break for a 5-1 NCWC lead at intermission.  Reva McCloud had two assists in the period, while Tenner assisted on Bonorden's score.

In the second half, it was all Bishops as junior Joanne Youngblood, sophomore Tija Riley, and Mussi all netted goals. McCloud recorded her third assist of the game on Riley's score.

The Bishops out-shot the Pacers 43-6 in the match. PC goalie Sherry Revels tallied an impressive 17 saves, while NCWC goalies Sarah Hess and Bryanne Godfrey split time in goal and combined for two saves. Wesleyan also held a 6-0 advantage in corner kicks.
