Box Score Box Score

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Wofford tallied a school-record tying 38 shots but only found the back of the net once as the Terriers tied South Carolina State, 1-1, in women's soccer action Friday evening at Snyder Field in Spartanburg, S.C.

Wofford (0-3-2) kept pushing the offensive attack at the Lady Bulldog net, but S.C. State goalkeeper Alechia Brothers posted 18 saves and kept her team in the contest through the 110 minutes of action. The Lady Bulldogs played the final 45:39 down a player after she received her second yellow card within a minute, resulting in an automatic red card and ejection.

The Terriers used a goal at 77:32 by freshman Anne Phillips to knot the scoring. Phillips earned her first collegiate score and points on a free kick on the left side, which she placed inside the far post past Brothers.

South Carolina State (0-0-1) had jumped out to a 1-0 advantage at 9:42 when Kelsey Mims scored on a loose ball in front of the cage. Magaly Cerda set up the play with a free kick, which glanced off the crossbar and through keeper Katie McChesney's hands right to Mims' feet.

Wofford would extend its offensive effort in an attempt for the go-ahead tally. Junior Monica Ploetzke tied Heidi Best's school record for shots with 13, a mark the former All-Southern Conference player notched against College of Charleston Oct. 1, 1997.

The 38 shots by the Terriers matched the school mark set October 3, 1998, against Morehead State.

Five Wofford players garnered four shots apiece: Phillips, Sydney Reed, Maggie McLaughlin, Rachael Blackburn and Nikki Siebert.

The Terriers will return to action next weekend when they host the Academy Sports Shootout, featuring Presbyterian, Kennesaw State and Furman. Wofford will first face Presbyterian at 7 p.m. Friday before facing Kennesaw State at 4 p.m. Sunday.
