Women's Soccer Finishes SCAC Weekend by Edging Rhodes

Memphis, Tennessee - The 17th-ranked Tiger women's soccer team wrapped up their Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference road trip with a 2-1 victory over Rhodes College on Sunday afternoon.

Trinity, which won its fifth straight game, improved to 6-1-0 and 2-0-0 SCAC. The defending conference champion Tigers shut out Hendrix 5-0 last Friday at Conway, Ark.
 
Tiger first-year midfielder Tara Sparks put Trinity on the board with a goal in the 29th minute, with junior midfielder Abby Loar providing the assist. Loar gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead in the 50th minute, on an assist by senior midfielder Jordan Azar, which proved to be the game-winner.

Rhodes got a goal with under a minute to play from Ashley Ladd, breaking up Trinity's chance for a second shutout of the weekend.
 
Sophomore goalkeeper Katie Garrett played a full 90 minutes, and registered three saves.
 
Trinity led Rhodes 8-4 in shots, and held a 6-4 edge in shots on goal.
 
The Tigers travel to Georgetown, Texas, next Saturday for a SCAC game with Southwestern at 2 p.m. Trinity will host Mary Hardin-Baylor at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 4.
