#articleRelated { display: none !important; } Junior goalkeeper Bernie Sikes had eight saves to lead the Wofford women's soccer team to the 1-0 win over the College of Charleston Sunday afternoon in Southern Conference action at Snyder Field in Spartanburg, S.C.

Sikes, who started the year as a field player but has since been forced to play in goal due to a season-ending injury to starter Austin Somers, collected eight saves for her third shutout victory in SoCon action.

Terrier Jessica Connett tallied the game's only goal just before halftime at 44:18. Sophomore Traci Lynch drove down the right side, then turned at the far post and found a streaking Connett in the box. Connett then laid the ball into the back of the net past Cougar goalkeeper Erin Smith.

Connett tied teammates Whitney Steelman and Kelly Broderick with three shots apiece to lead Wofford (4-9-1, 3-2 SoCon) to its first victory over College of Charleston since Sept. 16, 2003. In that contest, the Terriers again won 1-0 but used overtime to decide the contest.

Leading the Charleston (4-6-2, 3-1-2) attack was Kristin Rhyne with three shots, while Colleen Hoban had two attempts.

Smith stopped six Terrier shots in playing the full 90 minutes at net

Wofford will conclude a five-game homestand with a 7:00 PM match Thursday against Davidson. The Cougars host Charleston Southern Oct. 18th at 7:00 PM.
