FULTON, MS – After 83 scoreless minutes, Pearl River Community College drove home the game winner to survive the tough play of Itawamba Community College on Sunday, picking up a 1-0 victory.
The Lady Indians (2-6, 0-4 MACJC North) held their own with the defending NJCAA Region 23 champions highlighted by an outstanding performance in net by sophomore keeper Kate Hester (Pontotoc).
Hester picked up an impressive 15 saves to tie the program's record and kept the Lady Indians in position to pick up the win.
