I thought the intensity remained high despite all the goals." Ultimately, Judson out-shot Oakwood 33-2 and held a 13-0 edge in corner kicks. Sophomore goalkeeper Rachel Walker and Senior Lisa Dundore combined for the shutout but recorded one save.

**** 09/20/11 - Three Consecutive Wins by Emanuel Stephens Judson College Soccer, (5-3-0 overall), won their third consecutive game--defeating the Tennessee Temple Crusaders, (0-8-0 overall), 4-1--on Saturday. The win gives Judson College three consecutive wins for the first time in the program's history! The Eagles have won their past two games, 2-1 against the LaGrange Lady Panthers, and 6-0 against the Wesleyan College Pioneers. We are slowly improving and working on fundamentals in training every day to prepare for Oxford and Emory. Playing Oxford and Emory is an important point in the season for us; we want to try and reach 6-3 on the season and move up in the USCAA polls. As of last week we were ranked #6 in the USCAA polls. The ladies are becoming more cohesive as a unit, and they are building a familiarity with each other that is making their soccer more comfortable and intuitive.
***** 8/25/11 - Judson College Soccer Team ‘Gives Back’ By Sara Bible The Judson College soccer team made community missions a significant part of their practice this month devoting two days to outreach. The team began their work at the old armory in Marion that functions as a community center for the city where they swept and mopped, dusted and washed windows and the tables. The team also spent time at a local nursing home for an old fashioned hymn sing with the residents. The team was fascinated by the residents' ability to recall their favorite hymn numbers from memory, and team member Missy Merrell commented “I think I found some new friends!” On the second day the team spent the morning at the Sowing Seeds of Hope interfaith initiative loading backpacks with school supplies for local school children. After all the backpacks were stuffed and ready to go, the team distributed them to the boys and girls. Finally the team traveled to another nursing home in Marion to play board games with the residents. "I enjoyed getting to talk to the residents,” says goalie Rachel Walker. Coach Emanuel Stephens said he is very pleased with the way the team is shaping up for the season, and delighted the team agreed to "give back" to the community.

Everyone was encouraged to wear pink and the Lady Eagle volleyball team supported the day in their own pink uniforms to play in. “I feel it was a huge success as we had a large crowd there for the game and everyone participated. The coach from Agnes Scott was deeply moved by the event as she explained to me that she had lost her mother to breast cancer and thanked us for allowing them to be involved in the activities,” said Lady Eagles coach Anna Wood. The team hopes to continue this event in years to come and for it to grow in the years to come.

Once our chemistry gets flowing, we will be unstoppable!”
After traveling Thursday night the Eagles competed in their first home game the very next night with a tri-match between Baptist College of Florida and Concordia. Judson dominated BCF with 19 total kills and 14 total aces. After this match the Eagles played close rival Concordia.
"Concordia is always a tough match because of the emotion involved in the game," Wood said. Their school is so close and we compete in the same National Conference, USCAA, so it’s always a high energy high-emotion game. I was proud of my girls for the way they handled themselves and played their game coming out on top.” Freshman Hannah Asprodites led the team in aces with a staggering 18 aces and also made two blocks for the victory. Freshman Tiffany Martin, who plays in the setter position, led Judson’s offense making 16 good sets and two assists. Martin also earned seven aces on the game.
