Soccer Blanks Chowan For Eighth-Straight Win

MURFREESBORO – Anna Grossheim and Eugenie Amidou each scored goals 10 minutes apart in the first half to support Chiara Coppin's fourth shutout of the season as the UNC Pembroke soccer team picked up its eighth-straight victory with a 2-0 win at Chowan on Tuesday afternoon.
 
The result marked the sixth shutout in the last eight outings for the Braves (9-1-0, 5-0-0 CC) who have not tasted defeat since an August 31 road setback against Wingate. Chowan (2-6-1, 2-2-1) fell to 1-9-0 all-time in the series with the Black & Gold, with seven of those losses coming via shutout.
 
SCORING SUMMARY
27' Morgan Hill's perfectly-place corner kick caught the head of Anna Grossheim who used a header to redirect the cross past the outstretched leg of a Chowan defender and inside far post.
37' Kennedy Rucker intercepted a pass and hit a chip shot over a pair of Chowan defenders and into the attacking zone, and Eugenie Amidou beat Kirsten Peterson to the loose ball and punched a shot past the charging netminder.
