Laker women drop 6-1
decision at
fourth-ranked Carson-Newman
Anounga scores lone Clayton State in
battle of Division II Top 25 teams
 JEFFERSON
CITY, Tenn. --- SEPTEMBER 3, 2006 --- The Clayton State Laker
women’s soccer team hoped to gain a measure of revenge on Sunday at
Carson-Newman in a rematch of last season’s NCAA Division II National
Tournament first round game. However, the home standing Lady Eagles had
too much firepower as they defeated Clayton State 6-1 at McCown Field.
In a matchup of two Division II Top 25 teams, 19th-ranked
Clayton State dropped to 0-2 overall, while fourth-ranked Carson-Newman
improved to 3-0 overall.
Early on, it looked like Clayton State would match Carson-Newman goal
for goal. The Lady Eagles took a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute on a goal
by Megan Julian. However, Clayton State answered with the equalizer in
the eighth minute on a goal by Antoinette Anounga.
But Carson-Newman broke the game open with five unanswered goals,
including three by Division II All-American Rebecca Angus. She gave the
Lady Eagles a 2-1 lead with a goal in the 12th minute, and
then added goals in the 19th and 87th minutes. In
addition, Julian scored her second goal in the 46th minute
and
Zarmena Kasparites scored a
goal in the 66th minute.
