Tigers Capitalize on Bekah Clark PK to Beat Bears 2-1

GEORGETOWN, Ky. – The Georgetown College women's soccer team (3-2) picked up another win over Shawnee State (1-3) at Toyota Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

THE MATCH 
An eventful opening 10 minutes saw a pair of goals. First, in the 5th minute, a costly mistake by Shawnee State's Abby Kennedy allowed an own goal to cross through for the early Tigers advantage. Then, not even a minute later, the Bears found the equalizer behind an Addy Haynna strike. Georgetown keeper Olivia York turned away two more Shawnee attempts to keep things level at the half.

The second half brought more energy to the Tiger side as a penalty kick goal in the 72nd minute gave the hosts the 2-1 lead. Bekah Clark buried the attempt in the right far post to give Georgetown the advantage which it clung to for the final 18 minutes. The Clark penalty kick was her second goal of the season and the first shot of the day for the Tigers.

UP NEXT
The Tigers play just a single game next week on the road at Rio Grande (1-1-2). Kickoff with the Red Storm is set for 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 10.
