With less than 10 minutes to play, sophomore Chelsea Stanley (New Albany, Ind.) scored and the defense did its job as the Centre College women's soccer team defeated Austin College 2-1 Friday, Oct. 2 in Danville, Ky.
With the win, the Colonels improved to 6-3-1 overall and 2-1 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) play, while Austin falls to 5-4-1 overall and 0-3 in league action.
Junior Jessie Deffendall (Hendersonville, Tenn.) opened the scoring in the first half with a goal 8:52 into the opening period to give Centre a 1-0 lead.
After Austin's Shelley Casey tied the match at one apiece at the 57:56 mark in the second half, Stanley scored her second goal of the year at the 81:21 mark off an assist from sophomore Kelsey Boling (Louisville, Ky.) to give the Colonels the lead for good.
Centre out-shot Austin 15-4 on the evening and held a 6-1 advantage in corner kicks. Senior Rosie McAuley (Fairborn, Ohio) earned the win in goal for the Colonels stopping two shots on the night.
