East Central Community College’s Lady Soccer Warriors captured their first division win in 2010 by blanking Northwest Mississippi Community College 1-0 Friday, Sept. 24 on the Senatobia campus.
A header goal by Laurel Burnett off a corner kick by Wendy McCracken in the 12th minute of play provided ECCC with the winning margin. Burnett is a sophomore forward from Neshoba Central and McCracken is a freshman forward/keeper and product of Newton County High School.
With the win, the Lady Soccer Warriors improved to 2-6 overall and 1-3 in the MACJC North Division. The Lady Rangers fell to 2-5 and 1-3.
The Soccer Warriors were not as fortunate and dropped a 3-0 decision to the host Rangers. EC’s record fell to 1-7-1 and 0-4 following the shut out. Northwest improved to 3-5 and 2-2.
