CABOT — A night after rain prevented their regularly-scheduled match, the Bryant Lady Hornets traveled to Cabot on Friday. And they got a challenge from the Lady Panthers.
But Caroline Campbell drilled a penalty kick with about six minutes left to play and the Lady Hornets’ defense made it hold up for a 1-0 win in the non-conference match.
It was Bryant’s 12th shutout in 16 outings this season. The win improved the Lady Hornets’ overall record to 14-0-2. They’re set to take on league rival Sheridan on Tuesday, April 29, at home, hoping to improve their 6-0 conference mark.
“I thought the girls came out lacking intensity,” said Lady Hornets coach Julie Long of her team’s start at Cabot. “We had a hard week and played a tough Cabot team. The game was good for us and gave us a lot of things to work on.
“Cabot’s defense was very tough and showed us some of our weaknesses,” she noted. “It was an ugly win but a win.”
