Corum's PK gives Lady Tigers 1-0 win over Bryan

Box Score Campbellsville University women's soccer recorded its first win of the season Friday with a 1-0 victory over Bryan College in the NCCAA Mid-East Region Classic at Covenant College.



Campbellsville freshman goalkeeper Brandie Hagerman and Bryan freshman Stephanie Gagnon battled to a shutout for 74 1/2 minutes. But that ended when Gagnon was carded and ejected for tripping CU freshman Jessica Ralph (Owensboro, Ky.) during a one-on-one inside the box. The play set up a penalty kick for sophomore Ashley Corum (Radcliff, Ky.), who netted Campbellsville's first goal of the season with 15:30 left to play.

Hagerman finished the game with six saves and her first collegiate shutout. Campbellsville switched its formation this week, moving from a 3-4-3 to a more defensive, yet balanced attacking 4-4-2. Despite having only two forwards, CU led in shots 14-11.

"(The new formation) seemed to really work," CU head coach Thom Jones said. "We played really well. I thought we dominated the game, we just had a hard time finishing."


Campbellsville (1-1) will look to defend its NCCAA Mid-East Region Classic title when it faces host Covenant College at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. The game will be a rematch of last year's postseason NCCAA Mid-East Region Tournament final, also played at Covenant in Lookout Mountain, Ga. Covenant won the 2009 postseason battle, 1-0.
