HARTSVILLE, S.C. -- Freshman Ashley Cotton tallied seven points as the Anderson Trojans spoiled the Coker Lady Cobras senior day with a 6-1 victory in Conference Carolinas women's soccer action on Saturday afternoon. Cotton had a hat trick, while adding an assist in the victory, improving the Trojans to 7-8 overall, and 6-3 in the conference. The loss drops Coker to 0-15 on the year and 0-10 in the conference. With the win, Anderson has claimed four straight victories in the last eight days. Fellow freshman Carrie Settle was the first Trojan to strike, scoring a goal in the fourth minute of the game with an assist from Cotton. Cotton scored her first two goals of the match over the next 25 minutes, with assists from Settle and Jessica Kleinberg on the second goal. Junior Katleyn Conover finished off the first half with an unassisted goal to make it 4-0 at intermission. In the second half, Cotton completed her hat trick with an assist from Tori Danielson for a breakaway goal. Then in the 61st minute, Coker's Kerrie Cribb notched her first goal of the year with an assist from Jill Giguere. AU's Joelle Purinton added the final goal of the match with just 30 seconds remaining to give Anderson the 6-1 victory. Anderson's Alyssa Stephens had seven saves between the pipes, while Coker goalkeeper Carrie Hudnell recorded nine saves. "We had a really strong effort from everyone offensively," said Anderson head coach Jason Dowiak. "Both Kelli [Whitfield] and Alyssa.[Stephens] played well in goal. We had a chance to rest some people and all-in-all it was a good day." Anderson will get back on the pitch Monday, as the Trojans celebrate Senior Day by playing host to North Greenville in a non-conference matchup. Kick-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the AU Soccer Field.
