FAYETTEVILLE — Senior Megan Brigman's second-half penalty kick goal was the difference-maker in the Scotland girls' soccer team's 1-0 non-conference win at Terry Sanford on Thursday night.

Scotland got a shutout in goal from Jalissa Thomas, as the Scots improved to 11-4 on the year.

"Jalissa, in goal, was brilliant," said SHS head coach Colin McDavid. "The defense, led by Jessi Newton, Courtney Penn and Shea Poage, was outstanding.

"Ashley Harris was man-marking one of their best players. Terry Sanford has a very good team, and to beat them was nice.

"We might be a little tired tomorrow night, but this was the kind of game we needed to be playing before we played Pinecrest again."

Scotland lost to Pinecrest 12-0 earlier this season. The Lady Scots get a second chance at the Patriots tonight at 7 p.m. at Pate Stadium.

The JV Scots lost 9-0 at Terry Sanford on Thursday. They host the Pinecrest JV team at 5:30 today.
