BRENTWOOD, TN – Katie Shea Collins two goals and a stingy team defending led Tennessee Soccer Club past defending USL W League National Champion South Georgia Tormenta FC 3-0 on Monday night at Ravenwood High School Stadium in Brentwood, TN.
“It went amazing,” said Collins. “Our defense did so well. It just makes it so easy when we work as a team.”
Collins’ first goal came in the 39th minute as she blasted a shot past a diving Tormenta goalkeeper Keara Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald got a hand to it, but it had too much pace on it and rolled into the lower corner of the net.
TSCW doubled the lead in the 64th minute when a ball was played through to a streaking Collins who dribbled around the goalkeeper and slotted home her second goal of the night.
The home side found the back of the net once again in the 84th minute when Collins broke down the right side and sent a perfect cross to Nolyn Bartholomew who buried it to seal the victory.
With a clear game plan, TSCW snuffed out every Tormenta attack and punished the visitors on the counter.
“It felt great out there,” said TSCW Goalkeeper Taiana Tolleson. “I think we just saw what we have been trying to work on from the beginning of the season come to fruition tonight. It was an awesome team effort tonight and it felt good to have that shutout.”
TSCW returns to action Saturday, June 17th heading to Atlanta, GA, to take on Southern Soccer Academy at 7:30 pm ET.
