Tanzer Nets Two Goals In Runnin' Bulldogs Win Over Converse
August 25, 2024 | Women's Soccer
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Senior Livi Tanzer posted a pair of goals while the Gardner-Webb women's soccer team used a stingy defense to take home its first win of the season, a 2-0 defeat of Converse University on Sunday evening inside Greene-Harbison Stadium.
Â
The Runnin' Bulldogs put pressure on the Valkyrie defense early and often in the opening 45, but were unable to change the scoreboard over the initial 13 minutes of action.
Â
However, the consistent play in the offensive zone paid dividends at the 12:55 mark as Tanzer was awarded a penalty kick following a hard foul in the box, giving the Black and Red a 1-0 lead.
Â
That advantage doubled in the 23rd minute when Camila Lezcano found Tanzer streaking in front of cage for her second score of the contest.
Â
That proved to be more than enough as the Gardner-Webb defense, behind excellent goalie play from Stephanie Liu, shut down Converse while escaping with a 2-0 win.
The Runnin' Bulldogs resume play on Wednesday, August 28 as they welcome The Citadel to campus. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m.
