Senior Rio Hardy scored twice and sophomore Kory Dixon had a goal and two assists Sunday as the 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 soccer team claimed its record fifth consecutive Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship with a 5-0 victory over Coastal Carolina.

The game, played at the Foley Sports Tourism Complex, marked the largest winning margin in Sun Belt Conference final history and the first time a Sun Belt school has won five straight tournament championships. It was also the largest win of the season for the Jags.

"It is a fantastic achievement for these girls, and tactically, a really disciplined performance from our team today,鈥 said Coach Richard Moodie. 鈥淔ive goals in a tournament final is fantastic. It's just part of the journey. This wasn't the goal for the season. Making a national tournament is part three and now we get to train鈥 another week.

The Jaguars will enter the NCAA Tournament with a 14-5-1 record, and will face the Florida Gators as its first-round opponent Monday.

South Alabama has not allowed a goal in its last seven Sun Belt tournament games, outscoring the opposition 24-0. In Sunday鈥檚 win, goalie Justice Stanford made four saves in recording her eighth shutout of the season.

The Jags鈥 performance against Coastal Carolina was convincing, with 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 outshooting its opponent 19-9 while holding a 10-4 edge in shots on the goal.

鈥淭hree goals in the first 20 minutes took the wind out of their sails,鈥 Moodie said. 鈥淭hat's the most relaxed I've ever been in the last 20 minutes of a final. The girls did really well, and it wasn't easy game 鈥 it took a lot of work from us. They were willing to put in the work and effort."
