MCKENZIE, Tenn. (October 14, 2008) - The Lady Wildcats pressured all day and it paid off with a 4-1 conference win over the visiting Lady Bulldogs of Cumberland University. Bethel outshot CU 36-8 in the victory.
 

It took a little while for the Lady ‘Cats to find the back of the net, but when they did, it came quickly. Bethel took a 1-0 lead at 19:15 as Ashley Smith headed the winner on a pass from Sarah Halsall.

Bethel picked up the pace in the second half as Kimmarley Chin sent a ball into the goal box that was kicked in by Cumberland's Lauren Mayer scoring an "own goal" for the Wildcats and a 2-0 lead. The Lady Bulldogs would answer scoring exactly one minute later. That seemed to be a wake up call for Bethel as they scored 1:19 later when Taylor Estes scored a one-timer on a feed by Marika Fukuta. Then 1:09 after that, Philisha Lewis finished off the feed fro Fukuta and Bethel went in front 4-1.

Bethel goal Keeper Jackie Gardner made four stops for the win.

The win moved the lady ‘Cats to .500 for the season at 5-5-1. They are 3-1 in the TranSouth and tied with Lyon College for second place. The Lady Wildcats will be in action during Homecoming as they host Freed-Hardeman University on Saturday, October 18, 2008 at 3:00pm. They will also be celebrating senior day as they pay respects to their six departing seniors.
