The East Central Community College Lady Warriors continue to win as the team shut out the Mississippi Gulf Coast Lady Bulldogs, 2-0, on Sunday afternoon, April 18. The win moves ECCC to 5-0-1 on the season and puts the Lady Warriors at the top of the MACCC standings. 

It was a defensive battle in the opening half of the contest between the Bulldogs and Lady Warriors on Sunday as the teams entered the half, 0-0. The match, which was played on the football field at A.L. May Memorial Stadium in Perkinston, got more exciting in the second half as the Lady Warriors were able to pull away with a pair of goals. 

The scores came from Ameris Taylor (Ocean Springs) and Sasha Clare (Belfast, United Kingdom) while Daelyn Kell (Ocean Springs) and Gabby Falla (Hattiesburg) picked up the assists. Pairing with late-game offensive heroics was a stellar defensive performance that allowed the Lady Warriors to close out the game without surrendering a goal. 

The Lady Warriors will now take on the Holmes Community College Lady Bulldogs this Friday, April 23 at 1 p.m. on Warrior Field at Bailey Stadium. The MACCC matchup will be streamed live at www.eccclive.com/gold
