After playing a scoreless first half with visiting Delta State, McKenzie Bricker scored in the 64^th minute and Lauren Peters assured the victory with a goal in the 89 minute as Lee improved to 9-1-0 in Gulf South Conference play and 12-2-1 overall with the 2-0 decision over the Lady Statesmen.
 
It was Senior Day on a perfect Sunday afternoon for soccer, but Lee head coach Chris Hennessey was not overly pleased with the overall play of his Lady Flames. "We were nowhere near our best today, but we got the win and at this stage of season every win is a good win," he noted.
 
Bricker's goal, her fourth of the season, was doubly-assisted by Suzanne Arant and Katie Cloud. Peters knocked in her 10^th goal of the year and Mia Hollingsworth collected the assist.
 
The defensive-minded Lady Statesmen got off only five shots the entire game and none were on goal. The Lady Flames fired 19 shots and had five on target. Delta State keeper Emily Oldacre picked up two saves. The shutout was Lee's ninth of the season.
 
Hennessey had nothing but praise for his two seniors. The seniors have contributed so much to the program, and I hope there are many games (left) this season they can be a part of.
 
"Kinsey (Cichowitz) has given everything to this program over the past four years. It's so nice to see her having a great season. 
 
"Kaela (Leskovar) is another player who has enjoyed a top-four years. She always plays with a smile on her face and is one of those players who never complains."
 
The seniors and their Lady Flame teammates will on the road for their next two GSC contests, traveling to Valdosta State on Friday and then facing West Georgia on Sunday.
