Memphis - After a scoreless first half, Rhodes senior
Mackenzie Busby took Sewanee by surprise on her reverse sweep pictured above which split all Tiger defenders and went in to the far right corner to give the Lynx a 1-0 lead. Rhodes scored three more goals in the half, advancing them to the SAA Tournament Championship game.
Sunday's 1 p.m. championship game against Centre will be the sixth time these two teams meet for the tournament title, making them the only two teams in the history of the conference to make it to the championship.
Defender
Daryl Perry netted the second goal of the game for the Lynx, the first of her career. Perry;s first attempt was blocked but gathered by teammate
Jillian Christensen roped up the ball along the goal line. Her shot deflected back Perry's way who then buried the ball into the back of the net.
Rhodes' third goal came less than a minute later when
Hailey Mules's shot was saved by Sewanee's goalkeeper Katya Waters. The ball bounced off her foot, up and over shoulders towards the far right of the goal where
Lizzie Wood was waiting to tap the ball down into the goal.
Perry then scored her second goal of the game in the 45th minute.
Rhodes will look ahead to the championship game, which they've won in four out of their five trips. Live video and stats can be found
