BREVARD, N.C. --- Coneisha Waugh's goal in the 79th minute proved to be the difference in Tusculum's 3-2 South Atlantic Conference victory at Brevard Wednesday afternoon at the BC Soccer Field.

With the victory, the Pioneers even their overall record at 5-5-1 and go to 2-3-1 in conference play.

Brevard (3-5-1, 2-4-0 SAC) got on the board first in the 30th minute as Anita Maryskova scored her second goal of the year on a free kick following a Tusculum foul.

Brevard was whistled for a hand-ball infraction inside the penalty area, awarding Tusculum a penalty shot. Katja Andersson buried the shot for her fifth goal of the season to level the match at 1-1 in the 32nd minute.

In the second half, Carlie Thornber scored off a corner kick from Olivia Kilgore for her fourth goal of 2015 to give Tusculum its first lead of the afternoon.
