JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – Carson-Newman (6-5-3, 4-3-2 SAC) honored its seniors with a 1-0 victory over Queens (10-4-2, 5-3-2 SAC), the 10th-ranked team in the region, Saturday evening.

"We played really well," Carson-Newman head soccer coach Richard Moodie said. "I thought we were the better team."

 

The lone goal came in the 34th minute of action when senior Danna Stringle (Woodstock, Ontario, Canada) was fouled in the box and capitalized on the penalty kick.

 

The Eagles outshot Queens 19 to 12, though each team landed eight shots on net.

 

"We created a lot of chances," Moodie said. "We just have to work on putting them away. We missed some good opportunities, but we bounced back."

 

Senior captain Tiarna McKenna (Lisburn, Northern Ireland) tallied eight saves on the match advancing her to sixth in the conference with a total of 60 saves this season.

Ashley Osiecki led the shot count for the Royals with three taken, all of which were on target.

Mikayla Gregg (Newport, Tenn.) led the Eagles in shots having taken six, four of which were on frame. She has 10 points on the season making her second for C-N.

Freshman Gabby Gianeselli (Knoxville, Tenn.) leads C-N in points with 11 tying her for 15th in the SAC.

Stringle is ranked eighth in the conference with 42 shots.

"It was a good result for us given our past couple results," Moodie said. "We are excited to continue with another conference game on Wednesday."

The Eagles head to Tusculum Wednesday for a 5:00 p.m. match.
