College Soccer: AASU 2, Catawba 0

COLUMBUS, Ga. (September 9) – Kristin Burton and Kristin Savoy found the back of the net, while Tarra Kohler made five saves as the Armstrong Atlantic soccer squad blanked Catawba, 2-0, at the CSU Invitational on Sunday morning, giving head coach Eric Faulconer his 100th career collegiate coaching victory.

The Pirates (3-1) and the Indians played a scoreless first half, each team managing just three shots apiece, but AASU came out sharp in the second half, registering the first six shots. Burton put the Pirates on the scoreboard in the 58th minute, scoring off of a corner kick for her sixth goal of the season and fourth of the weekend.

In the 67th minute, Savoy then delivered her second goal of the year off of an assist from Jamie Craine. That was enough for the Pirate defense and Kohler, who registered her first shutout of the season and sixth of her AASU career.

The milestone win brings Faulconer's career collegiate coaching record to 100-57-7, including a 32-13-1 mark at AASU. Faulconer and the Pirates will return to action on Saturday, September 15, as they host Clayton State at 3:30 p.m. in its PBC opener.
