CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Parker Morgan headed home a goal in the 74th minute to give the No. 16 Columbus State University a 1-0 win over Queens University on Saturday at Dickson Field.

After controlling the pace of play for the majority of the match, the Cougars (3-0-1) broke through when Maria Kilset played a ball into the box for Morgan. The reigning Peach Belt Conference Defender of the Week headed home the perfectly placed ball for her second goal of the year.

"We needed that goal for sure," commented head coach Jay Entlich. "Our defense played great throughout the day, and we had to find a way to put a goal on the board."

Columbus State was dominant throughout the day, outshooting Queens (2-2-0) 17-5. The Royals only put two shots on goal, with goalkeepers Sara Halilhodzic and Lizzie Hedrick each recording a save.

The Cougars kept QU goalkeeper Erica Turner busy in the second half. CSU fired 11 shots over the final 45 minutes of play with Turner making save saves.
