Cary, NC--The Pacers lost to Meredith College today at the soggy SAS Soccer Park (5-0). The Avenging Angels are tied for 3rd with Greensboro College in the USA South regular season. Several short, light rain showers fell on the field but the game played on. Meredith shut-down the Pacer offense outshooting Peace 42-7. The Angels scored 2 goals in the first period from Alex Calvert and Maggie Barilich. The next 2 came mid-way through the 2nd half from Nicole Boucher followed by the 5th from Barilich in the final minutes.

Peace kept pushing until the final minutes of the match. The Pacers had a couple of solid shots on the goal but could not capitalize. Forwards Harlonda Smith, sophomore from Huntersville, NC, and first-year Megain Franklin of Henderson each targeted the net 3 times. First-year keeper Sherry Revels recorded 16 saves in the loss.

But the leader on the Pacer squad today is sophomore defender Jennifer Gilbert of Burlington, NC. Gilbert showed her numbers all over the field defensively for Peace. She handled key attacks from the Angels and hustled to move the ball towards the Pacer goal. Gilbert's constant effort kept the Pacers in the match until the final moments.
