Women's Soccer Eases Past Bears 8-0

Lebanon, Tenn. - - Cumberland saw Shawnee State come to Lindsey-Donnell Stadium for a matchup with their former conference foes. Winning in comfortable fashion, the Phoenix scored 8 goals for the second game in row, and registered a shutout.

Hosting the Bears last week for their matchup with the College of Idaho, the Phoenix were able to witness Shawnee State first-hand. With knowledge of how they like to play, Cumberland were able to put their foot on the gas pedal from the first pass of the game.

Going her previous two games without a goal, Brenna Swiger made certain that her drought ended against the Bears. Finishing a cross from Yuna Hazekawa, Swiger put the Phoenix ahead with under a minute drained off the clock.

Giving the Bears no time to recover, Gabby Jones did what she often does best and used her lightning pace and dribbling ability to go through the Bears defense and slot the ball into an open net, doubling the CU lead.

Swiger was not finished scoring however, as she linked up with Ella Tuplin for the Phoenix's third goal of the game. Pulling the strings in the midfield, Tuplin saw Swiger through on goal and delivered a lovely pass that Swiger sent past the keeper.

Scoring the final goal of the half, Tuplin and Swiger linked up again, this time however it was Tuplin on the scoring end of the action. Swiger brought the ball down the right wing and layed a pass off to Tuplin, who would score her first goal of the season.

Coming out of the break like they did the first half, the Phoenix needed just over a minute to score their first goal. After assisting Gabby Jones' goal earlier in the game, Celia Rodriguez joined Ella Tuplin in scoring her first goal of the season. She received a cross from Evelyn Jimenez at the second post and scored with a header.

Continuing to make an impact on the game, Brenna Swiger won a freekick just in front of the box, leading to the seventh goal of the game for the Phoenix. After Grace Morris scored a free kick in Cumberland's previous game, this time Yuna Hazekawa stepped up to the spot and smashed a ball over the wall and off the crossbar, into the back of the net.

Scoring in all but one game this season, it was more likely than not that Mari Sagstad found herself on the scoresheet, and that she did. Miku Kayama just had to roll the ball to Sagstad, who's positioning set her up for a tap-in goal.

Finishing the game with her fourth goal contribution, who else would it have been except for Brenna Swiger scoring one of the best goals of the season so far for her third goal of the game. Mari Sagstad chipped a ball over the Bears defense and Swiger hit a rocket of a volley into the top right corner.

By the time the game finished five members of the Phoenix had contributed to at least two goals, with both Brenna Swiger and Ella Tuplin contributing to four each.

The Phoenix will host another former MSC opponent in Life University this coming Wednesday, September 13th. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 PM.
