Box score HICKORY, N.C. ---

Lenoir-Rhyne University remained unbeaten in the South Atlantic Conference with a 3-0 victory over Tusculum College in Women's soccer action Saturday afternoon.

The Bears (10-2-1, 6-0-1 SAC) took the lead in the ninth minute and added goals in the 40th and 60th minutes to send the Pioneers (5-6-3, 3-2-2 SAC) to their third consecutive loss.
