Soccer Blanks Columbia 2-0 in AAC Conference Play

Columbia, South Carolina- The Brenau soccer team shutout Columbia (S.C.) College 2-0 in a critical Appalachian Athletic Conference matchup on Saturday.

At the 82:31 mark, the Golden Tigers added an insurance goal as Jade Echols scored her team-high sixth goal of the season to secure the win.
