Belmont Abbey freshman forward Emily Archer scored the only goal of the match in the 15th minute as the 18th ranked Crusaders women's soccer team moved to 7-0 with a 1-0 win over the visiting Lees-McRae Bobcats this afternoon at Alumni Field. The Abbey's record remains unblemished at 7-0 overall and 2-0 in Conference Carolinas, while Lees-McRae drops to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in Conference Carolinas.

Belmont Abbey opened the scoring in the closing seconds of the 15th minute, tallying what would prove to be the contest's only goal when Archer gathered a loose ball and beat the keeper from the right-hand corner of the penalty area, sailing high shot over the head of Brittany Bolton for the goal.

The Abbey was outshot 8-6 but held a 7-1 advantage in corner kicks. Anna Donaldson made five saves.

Belmont Abbey is back in action Saturday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. when it goes on the road to face Saint Andrews Presbyterian.
