Box Score Carrollton, Ga.-- The Lady Statesmen hit the road to open conference play as they took on West Georgia Friday night. Unfortunately for the Lady Statesmen, the Lady Wolves scored a second half goal en route to a 1-0 victory.

The Lady Statesmen (2-5, 0-1 GSC) could not muster much offense in the first half as they did not record a single shot. The Lady Wolves (3-4, 1-0 GSC), posted 13 shots in the opening 45 minutes.

The game remained scoreless as the second half got underway. Then in the 60th minute the Lady Wolves broke the deadlock. Cary Powell headed the ball into the back of the net, and scored her first goal of the season off an assist from Kate Marnock.
