Goal leads Mustangs past Scots

BATESVILLE – Playing on the road for the second straight match, Central Baptist College women’s soccer was at Huser Field recently for an American Midwest Conference contest against the Scots of Lyon College. In what was the final meeting between the two schools as AMC foes, Josie Gelsthorpe’s goal just before halftime gave CBC (5-7-1, 2-2 AMC) a 1-0 victory over LC (1-10, 0-3 AMC).

Gelsthorpe’s goal was the first of her career and came off a set piece just before the halftime buzzer. Vitoria Loiola, who was credited with the assist, hit the crossbar on a shot attempt and it bounced right to Gelsthorpe, who cashed in on the opportunity. CBC dominated the contest, outshooting Lyon 19-8 overall and 8-1 toward net.
