Eagles win big in opener
August 24
CONWAY, Ark. - After tying Harding University 1-1 in a preseason scrimmage on Friday, the Eagles took to the field against Central Baptist College on Saturday for their season opener. Faulkner had to come from behind twice to tie the game, but after taking the lead by one at the break, the Eagles cruised to and 8-2 victory.
Faulkner's scoring effort came from four contributors, spearheaded by senior Nikki Jagt who put five away. Sophomores Jessica Monarch, Jennifer Parrott and Samantha Ruddick each had a solo goal.
Jagt's assault on the keeper improved her career goals total to 95.
The Eagles will take on Tennessee Temple in the home opener at the new Dalraida soccer complex on Sept. 27 at 6 p.m.
