A three-goal second half gave Tusculum College a 3-0 victory over Anderson University in South Atlantic Conference Women's soccer action Saturday afternoon.

Jana Linke, Gabrielle Whitt and Taylor Lewis scored in a 25-minute span for the Pioneers (6-1-1, 2-0-0 SAC), who extended their unbeaten streak to six matches (five wins, one tie).

Marissa Williams made five saves to record the shutout against the Trojans (4-3-1, 2-1-0 SAC), who attempted seven shots on the Pioneer goal.

After a scoreless first half, the Pioneers struck for the first goal of the day at 55:17 as Linke tallied her second goal of the season off an assist by Alisha Pugh.

Tusculum was able to protect its one-goal lead until Whitt struck for her first career goal at 77:07, assisted by Tramicka James. Lewis added an insurance goal at 79:42 as she was able to get control behind the Anderson keeper and scored into an open net.

It was the third goal of the season for Lewis and her second in as many games, following her overtime winner in Thursday's 3-2 victory over Mars Hill. Kim Brown had the assist on the goal by Lewis.

Anderson keeper Kaitlyn Neipp finished with four saves against Tusculum, which attempted 10 shots toward the Trojan net. The Pioneers also held a 6-2 edge in corner kicks.
