Morford, Pugh named to Food Lion SAC All-Tournament team
ROCK HILL, S.C. ---

Tusculum College placed two players on the Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Women's Soccer All-Tournament team, which was announced following Lenoir-Rhyne's 2-0 win over Wingate in the championship match on Sunday.

Junior defender Amy Morford and freshman midfielder Alisha Pugh were honored for their performance in the tournament, which saw the Pioneers advance to the semifinals before being eliminated in penalty kicks by Wingate.

Morford anchored a Tusculum defense that did not allow a goal during the course of play in 200 minutes during the tournament. The Pioneers yielded just 14 shots on goal in two matches in the tournament, a 2-0 win over Lincoln Memorial in the quarterfinals and a 1-1 tie with Wingate in the semifinals.

Pugh, a second-team All-SAC honoree, scored the first goal in the quarterfinal win over Lincoln Memorial in the 14th minute and assisted on a goal by Tramicka James in the 53rd minute against Wingate in the semifinals that gave the Pioneers a 1-0 lead.

Tusculum concluded its 2012 season with a 12-3-3 overall record, the program's 15th season of 10 or more wins in the last 16 years and the Pioneers' best finish since going 14-3-3 in 2006.
