DAYTON, Tenn. — Three different Rams scored as Columbia International University women's soccer earned a 3-1 win over Bryan College on Saturday in Appalachian Athletic Conference play.
CIU improved to 4-2-3 overall and 3-2-1 in the AAC, controlling the opening half before adding to its lead early in the second.
Lily Jackson opened the scoring in the 19th minute off an assist from Adesua Watterson. Lohrane Boaventura doubled the advantage in the 28th minute with an unassisted goal, giving the Rams a 2-0 halftime lead. CIU outshot Bryan 15-3 over the opening 45 minutes.
Boaventura now has 18 career goals, leaving her two shy of becoming the first player in program history to reach 20 goals in just three seasons.
Olivia Hazel extended the lead to 3-0 in the 50th minute, scoring off an assist from Jackson. Bryan pulled a goal back in the 61st minute, but the Rams maintained their two-goal cushion the rest of the way.
Jackson finished with a goal and an assist, while Boaventura led CIU with six shots, including four on goal. Hailey Resetar recorded five saves in a full 90 minutes in net.
The Rams finished with a 24-10 advantage in shots, an 18-6 edge in shots on goal and eight corner kicks to Bryan's two.
CIU faces a quick turnaround, taking on Brenau on Monday, Oct. 5, in a makeup match postponed earlier this season. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET.
