ANDERSON, S.C. -- Freshman Jessica Kleinberg's two-goal effort lifted the Anderson women's soccer team past St. Andrews, 2-1, in Conference Carolinas action Saturday afternoon at the AU Soccer Field. Playing for the first time in 10 days in a steady drizzle, the Trojans controlled the tempo of the contest, forcing much of the action to take place on the Knight's end of the pitch and outshooting the visitors 13-3 on the afternoon. "I thought we controlled much of the game," said Anderson head coach Jason Dowiak. "Jessica really stepped up with her two goals and I thought Tori [Danielson] controlled the back and Larissa [Fedorowich] controlled the middle for us." AU threatened early with freshman Joelle Purinton notching one of her four shots on the afternoon just three minutes into the contest. The Trojans again nearly scored at the 18:49 mark when fellow freshman Carrie Settle's attempt rolled just wide of the post following Kleinberg's long dribble down the right side of the pitch. Anderson's persistent pressure finally paid off when Kleinberg broke free and her shot found the back of the net, as the Hamilton, Ohio native recorded her sixth goal of the season. The teams went to intermission with AU holding the 1-0 advantage. Kleinberg posted her second game-winning score of the 2009 campaign in the 66th minute when she again broke free, dribbled down the middle of the pitch and rifled a shot past the St. Andrews keeper. The Knights made the final four minutes of the Homecoming contest close, as sophomore Krystal Hedderman's shot settled in the net and cut the AU lead to 2-1, but it proved to be as close as the visitors would get. The AU offense forced St. Andrews' keeper Becca Knott to make six saves and recorded eight shots on goal. Anderson senior keeper Kelli Whitfield played 90 minutes between the pipes and picked up her fourth win. Anderson moved to 4-8 overall and 4-3 in league play, while St. Andrews fell to 7-6, including a 4-3 mark in the conference. The Trojans will get back on the pitch Tuesday when AU visits Mars Hill for a non-conference tilt slated for 7 p.m. Game Stats Season Stats
