The LaGrange College Women's Soccer Team (6-8-3, 3-5-0 Collegiate Conference of the South) capped off regular season play Saturday (Oct. 26) with a statement victory over the Agnes Scott College Scotties (2-13-0, 1-7-0 CCS) by a final score of 8-0. The win marked the 25th victory for this year's senior class, as the team celebrated both their berth in the CCS Conference Tournament and seniors Cassidy Abbott, Briana Suarez, Kendyl Anderson, Madison Dekker, Brilyn Fletcher, Marissa Oliver and Breanna Wright in the post-game festivities.

Match Details
The Panthers distributed the ball very liberally in the first half, as four different players found the back of the net. Briana Suarez did the honors of scoring the game's opening goal in the 13th minute as she crushed a beautiful cross from Kaia King to give her team the early 1-0 advantage. Despite their attempts to hold their own against a pressing LC attack, the Scotties could not muster enough firepower to combat the inspired Panthers, as Morgan Sims, Haylei Hasan and Suarez each deposited goals in the 21st, 41st and 43rd minutes, respectively to form a vice grip on the match. LaGrange concluded the dominant first half with a penalty kick goal from Marissa Oliver as they enjoyed a 5-0 cushion heading into the intermission.

The second half saw much of the same, as LC continued to dominate the time of possession and generate the vast majority of scoring chances. In the 57th minute, Charlee Hunt would send the entire Panther bench into a euphoric frenzy as she lasered a shot from deep to put her team up by six goals. Seven minutes later, Haylei Hasan would net her seventh goal of the season to put the Panthers up by seven late in the contest. And just as it started with a goal from Suarez, the match would be capped off with a goal from the senior forward as she secured the hat trick and punched her team's ticket to the postseason with the 8-0 victory.
