SGC Men, Women Finish Week Undefeated

The SGC soccer teams are hitting their collective strides at the right time and had a very week, going undefeated while playing a very exciting brand of soccer.

The Lady Tigers have now surpassed their total win output from a year ago by the mid-season mark. The women beat Georgia Military College 1-0 on Thursday on a goal from freshman Chelsea Waters. The Lady Tigers played a strong defensive game and took their fourth shutout on the season. Ashley Kramer made 10 saves in the contest. On Friday, the Lady Tigers exploded for five goals to beat Gordon College. Kadie Naumann led the way, scoring two beautiful goals and adding an assist. Monique Hollins also put two goals away and Natalie Ochoa scored her first goal of the season to complete the score. The Lady Tigers are now 5-4 on the season. “I am very proud of the girls,” noted head coach Ken Kirsch. “We have already surpassed several marks from last season and we are continuing to get better.” The Lady Tigers travel to Darton today and host GPC on Friday this week.

The men swept the week also. They played a very quick passing game against Georgia Military to earn the 6-0 shut-out. Felipe Nascimento and Matt Sutton both scored two goals in the contest and Joe Alexander added a goal and an assist. Sam Wise earned the shutout, notching four saves. On Friday, the Tigers earned their fifth win on the year by defeating Gordon College 2-0. Nascimento scored his ninth goal on the season and Johnny Waters added the other. “It is about time we start to have some clean sheets from the defense,” said Coach Kirsch. “We are really starting to play the game we teach here and hopefully we will continue this trend.” The men are now 5-3-2 on the year and have a tough game on today as they also travel to Darton.
