CLEVELAND, Tenn. -- The Lee Flames (1-2-1) scored three second-half goals and limited the Lady Railsplitters (1-1-1) to a season-low six shot attempts in a 3-0 victory in NCAA Division II women's soccer action on Sunday in Cleveland, Tenn.
Â
After holding the Flames scoreless for the first 50 minutes, Lincoln Memorial surrendered three goals in a 23-minute span of the second half, a stretch that ultimately resulted in the Lady Railsplitters' first loss of the 2015 campaign.
Â
Mia Hollingsworth paced the Flames offense with goals in the 66th and 74th minutes, using assists from Kinsey Cichowitz and McKenzie Bricker, respectively. Kaela Leskovar opened the scoring in the 51st minute with an unassisted goal, which was credited as the game-winning goal.
Â
Lee outshot the Lady Railsplitters 17-6 and finished with a 7-0 edge on corner kick attempts. That was the lowest shot total for the Lady Railsplitters since they mustered just four shots in a 1-0 win at Newberry on September 20, 2014. It was the first time they have not registered a corner kick since the second match of 2014.
Â
Michelle Hunter (Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada) led the Lady Railsplitters with two shots. Goalkeeper
Kathryn Lundy (Pinckney, Mich.) made one save in nearly 71 minutes of action, while senior
Kayla Stephens (Keller, Texas) spent 19 minutes in net in her first appearance of the season.

Lee netminder Haley Gribler made a save over 80 minutes of action in the victory. Hollingsworth and Nicole Blanchard paced the Flames with a match-high four shot attempts.
