PIKEVILLE, Ky. – The University of Pikeville women's soccer team wrapped up its opening week with a scoreless tie against Warren Wilson (N.C.) College on Saturday afternoon.
The tie kept the Bears unbeaten this season at 2-0-1.
Despite several opportunities in the form of corner kicks and indirect kicks for each side, the teams failed to capitalize in the sweltering heat. UPIKE managed only seven shots on goal, while goalkeeper Chelsea Schulte saved all eight of Warren Wilson's shots on goal.
Freshman Kayla Scott continued to look impressive with three shots on goal, but it was not enough to beat a Warren Wilson team that spent much of the game with possession.
The Bears return to action on Tuesday afternoon, hosting Salem International at 2 p.m. at the Pikeville Soccer Complex at Bob Amos Park.
THURSDAY: Freshman Kayla Scott scored all three goals in a 3-0 win over Ohio Valley University.
Scott had six shots on goal in the win, improving Pikeville to 2-0 on the season. Freshman keeper Chelsea Schulte was in goal for the complete-game shutout, turning back all 11 shots on goal for Ohio Valley.
TUESDAY: Pikeville opened the 2011 season with a 3-2 win at Midway College.
Scott scored her first goal of the week in the win, matching scores from sophomore Jessica Jude and freshman Kayla Robertson.
Senior Becky Davenport got the win in goal, turning away six Eagle shots on goal.
