Five Phoenix Score in 5-0 Win at Pikeville

PIKEVILLE, Ky.--Cumberland scores early and often as they take down former Mid-South Conference opponent Pikeville on the road, 5-0.

The Phoenix were dominant offensively and defensively as they fired 38 shots in the match with 18 of them on goal. Cumberland refused to let Pikeville even take a shot in the match with stingy defense on the back half. The Phoenix controlled the pace of play all match keeping the ball on the Pikeville half of the field majority of the time. 

Five different Phoenix got in on the scoring action as Mari Sagstad, Miku Kayama, Brenna Swiger, Brenda Cernas, and Hailey Burroughs each scored a goal. Zoe Collyer was phenomenal in the second half notching three assists.

Cumberland scored in the first five minutes of the match after Brenda Cernas fired a shot. A Bears defender, trying to protect herself, threw her hand up and was called for the handball allowing Mari Sagstad to step up and knock down the penalty kick for the early lead. 

In the 23rd minute, Miku Kayama netted her first goal as a Phoenix to push the lead out to 2-0 at the halfway point in the first half. 

The score stood there at half as the Phoenix had some chances to push it even further, but some unlucky breaks as a few shots ricocheted off the post and the crossbar. 

In the second half, Brenna Swiger scored in the 54th minute as the Phoenix kept on cruising. Evelyn Jimenez played the ball down the far sideline to Zoe Collyer, she crossed it to the top of the box where Swiger spun around and fired the shot for the goal. 

Swiger then set up the next Cumberland goal as she intercepted a pass and played it forwarded to Collyer. Collyer crossed to Cernas across the box, where Cernas made a move inside and beat the Pikeville keeper to lead 4-0 through 71 minutes. 

The final goal of the match came from Hailey Burroughs. In the 78th minute, Ella Tuplin fired a long counter to Collyer and again Collyer crossed in the box to Burroughs for the final score of the match. 

The Phoenix have been road warriors to start the season playing away matches in Kansas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Kentucky, but on Saturday the Phoenix will finally play at home as they take on College of Idaho. That match is slated to begin at 1:00 p.m.
