Strong Second Half Leads Covenant Over Bob Jones

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. - Covenant hosted Bob Jones for the first game of a busy weekend for the Scots. After a slow start, a dominant second half led to another win for the Scots. 

Final: Covenant 3, Bob Jones 1
Records: Covenant (3-0), Bob Jones (2-1) 

HOW IT HAPPENED: 

  • The Bruins started off the game with an early goal in the ninth minute scored by Sarah Ward and assisted by Mia Marks.
  • Lila Wiley in the 15th minute and Rachel Wall in the 29th minute put shots on goal as Covenant tried to get back into the game. 
  • In the closing minutes of the half, Blythe Jelley and Mae Pierce put shots on goal, but the Scots were unable to draw level before halftime. 
  • Less than three minutes after play resumed Emma Riggs scored a goal from deep after an errant pass from the goalie left a wide open net for her to shoot in. 
  • Pierce almost scored in the 57th minute as an intended cross nailed off the crossbar and out of play. 
  • The score remained tied until the 71st minute when Lila Wiley was tripped up in the box leading to a penalty kick that AnnaLi Weekley converted. 
  • Covenant wasn't done as Wiley scored the third goal with her left foot after a nice pass from Reece Black. 
  • The Bruins had a long-distance shot hit the top of the crossbar in the 85th minute, but luckily for the Scots it went out back behind the goal.
