Covenant Blanks Berry in Home Opener

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. - Covenant hosted in-state rival Berry for its first home game and it did not disappoint. Behind a strong defense, the Scots withheld the Vikings to earn a 1-0 victory. 

Final: Covenant 1, Berry 0
Records: Covenant (2-0), Berry (0-1-2) 

  • Covenant had two corner kicks in the first 13 minutes, but were unable to use either one to take the lead. 
  • It was Berry's turn to have a few corner kicks as it had three in nine minutes, but it couldn't muster a single shot off either set piece.

  • Berry came out aggressive in the opening minutes of the second half, as they put three shots on goal, all of which were saved by Covenant keeper Brownwyn Kickasola.
  • The game-winning goal happened in the 60th minute right after a throw-in as Hannah Ford buried a right-footed shot into the back of the net on an assist from Aiden Strawbridge.
  • The Vikings had a good opportunity to tie the match in the 77th minute as a loose ball in the box created havoc, but once again Kickasola found a way to prevent the ball from going into the back of the net. 
  • In the 82nd minute, Weekley blasted a shot from outside the box and was inches away from doubling Covenant's lead, but the ball hit the woodwork of the goal.
