Wesleyan Soccer Earns Tie vs. Tennessee Temple

The Wesleyan College soccer team picked up a 0-0 tie Friday afternoon against Tennessee Temple University, who defeated the Pioneers by a score of 6-2 in their season opener.

The game marked the first time in 25 matches that the team has had a shutout, which came in a 1-0 victory over Johnson Bible College on October 10, 2008.

"We came together as a team, fought through some injuries and worked hard, so I'm really proud of the team," stated Pioneers head coach Michael Spivey.  "The girls are on cloud nine since they lost to Tennessee Temple earlier this season, and they are starting to see their hard work pay off."

The Pioneers return to the pitch on Saturday, September 25 when they travel to Judson College.
