Bethany Logan's early goal stood up as the difference in Covenant College's quarterfinal win in the USA South women's soccer tournament. The sixth-seeded Lady Scots (10-8-2) won 1-0 at third-seeded Averett University on Monday to complete the final four field. They will play Friday at 2:30 p.m. in Martinsville, Va., against second-seeded Piedmont. Top-seeded Maryville College, coached by Tennessee Wesleyan hall of famer and former Chattanooga high school coach Pepe Fernandez, will face fifth seed Meredith at noon; Maryville beat LaGrange 3-1 on Saturday with Allyson Hale from South Pittsburg and St. Andrew's-Sewanee School scoring the final goal. Logan scored 3:35 into Monday's match from a Rachel Bernard assist, and no one scored the rest of the way, despite 20 shots by Averett (12-6-1) and seven more by Covenant. The favored hosts had a 9-3 edge in corner kicks. Hannah Bales was credited with seven saves in the shutout.
• Laura Thacker and Summer Lanter scored in the first 10 minutes and the Lee University women's soccer team, the former NAIA power now in NCAA Division II, beat the NAIA's sixth-ranked Cumberland Lady Bulldogs 3-0 on Monday. Leah Fortune, who assisted on Thacker's goal at 4:38, added a goal from an Ode Fulutudilu pass in the 75th minute for the Lady Flames (12-3-1). Lanter leads the team with 12 goals; Fortune has 10.
