Pekin 1, Limestone 0

BARTONVILLE - Pekin's soccer team broke a two-match losing streak and beat Limestone 1-0 on Friday in Bartonville In the process, freshman goalkeeper Lindsay Cofey earned her first career shutout.

The only goal of the game came 10 minutes in. Senior Jeleighsa Hamilton beat two Rocket defenders down the right side and crossed the ball into the goal box. In the melee that followed, Shelly Morris kicked the ball toward the right corner and Chelsea Leaver finished it off for her first goal of the season.

"Chelsea has had quite a week," Pekin coach Edgar Sandoval said. "She played a great game at Notre Dame and she got the only goal against Limestone. I think the team feeds off of her intensity and she set the tone right away."

Sandoval also credited his defenders - Karis Parkin, Amanda Miller, Jessica Allen and Bryn Golden.

"This was probably our best defensive effort of the season," he said. "We held them to one shot on goal on a free kick."

Pekin is now 4-7 on the season.
