CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The Samford University soccer team extended its winning streak to four-consecutive matches Friday as the Bulldogs breezed to a 5-0 Southern Conference road victory against The Citadel Bulldogs in an early-league contest held at Summerall Field.
With the win, defending SoCon-champion Samford (8-4, 3-0 SoCon) remained undefeated in conference matches this season and tallied its third straight shutout victory. Since opening league play last week, the Bulldogs have rattled off consecutive triumphs against Furman, 2-0, Wofford, 1-0, and The Citadel (1-11, 0-2 SoCon), 5-0.
Samford moved to 8-1-1 in its all-time series with the Cadets and tallied its third-consecutive victory in the rivalry. The Bulldogs have never lost a road match against The Citadel.
Five different players scored goals for Samford on Friday as the Bulldogs equaled their highest score total of the season. Also in 2015, Samford has scored five goals in wins against Memphis, 5-1, and Kennesaw State, 5-2.
Junior Malcanisha Kelley opened the scoring with the game-winning goal in the 14th minute, while Taylor Borman, Kinsey Sessions, Hallie Georgi and Virginia McNeill also added scores.
Kelley's goal proved to be her team-leading eighth of the 2015 campaign. The Bulldogs' dynamic forward from Childersburg, Alabama, moved into a tie for third place on the school's all-time goals-scored list with 23. Samford's career leader in goals is former Bulldog-great Marian Wagner who tallied 26 from 2002-05.
In the 23rd minute of action, Borman increased Samford's lead to 2-0 by scoring her third goal of the season. On the scoring play, the Bulldogs' junior forward slipped past a pair of The Citadel defenders and beat the Cadets' goalkeeper one-v-one.
Borman also played a key role in Samford's third goal of the match as she set up a score for Sessions, her first of the 2015 season. In the 32nd minute, Sessions' goal gave the Bulldogs a commanding 3-0 lead over the Cadets heading into halftime.
Samford outshot The Citadel 14-7 in the opening period of play and ended the contest with a 25-12 advantage in the category. The Bulldogs also topped the Cadets in shots on goal by a 17-6 clip.
The second half proved to be similar to the opening 45 minutes of action as Samford's Georgi and McNeill both tacked on goals en route to the Bulldogs' decisive 5-0 victory. Georgi's goal was her fifth of the season, while McNeill's score proved to be her first.
Samford's Katie Peters earned the complete-game shutout in goal for the Bulldogs and upped her impressive record on the season to 6-3. Peters boasts an impressive 0.94 goals-against average in 2015 and owns three shutouts. She registered six key saves Friday versus The Citadel.
Since beginning SoCon play last week, Samford has yet to allow a goal and has outscored the opposition by a count of 8-0.
The Samford University soccer team will next be in action Sunday at noon (CDT) as the Bulldogs conclude their two-match weekend road trip against the Mercer Bears in a highly-awaited showdown to be held at Bear Field in Macon, Georgia.
