The Redan Lady Raiders were simply too much for Newnan last Thursday night, as they outlasted the Lady Cougars 6-4 in a goalfest. Junior Marci Pike assisted freshman Sister Edge opening the Newnan account in the eighth minute to put the Lady Cougars up 1-0. Redan rallied to tie the score before senior Karen Hembree, Newnan's all-time leading scorer, put sophomore Amanda Morton through, on a breakaway to the net for the go ahead goal. Redan responded once again, scoring off of a penalty kick.

The game was tied 2-2 at the half but the Lady Raiders scored three goals within the first five minutes of the second half. Newnan responded to the offensive onslaught with a penalty kick of their own after Amanda Morton was taken down in from behind inside the area. Senior captain Anne Barrow calmly slotted home the ensuing penalty shot to bring the Lady Cougars back within two goals. Redan replied with their sixth goal of the match to reclaim the three goal cushion before sophomore Whitney Mansour claimed her first goal of the season on an assist from sophomore Patricia Ballantyne with a little over a minute to play. The Lady Cougars will face Gadsden at Whitlock Park this evening at 6:30 p.m.
