BREVARD, N.C. – The Brevard College women's soccer team (1-0) opened up its 2024 season with a 6-0 victory over Agnes Scott College (0-1) on Wednesday evening at Ives-Lemel Family Field.
 
It was a day of firsts for the Tornados, with freshman forward Kinlee Mozley scoring her first two goals of her collegiate career while adding an assist for a five-point performance. Mikayla Zvekan set a new career mark with a goal and two assists for four points, while Mikayla Rubin added her first collegiate goal and assist as well. Elis Diniz scored her first goal as a Tornado – a spot attempt after a foul in the box - with Kiara Porcelli converting a penalty attempt as well in addition to an assist. Brevard's 53 shot attempts in the contest set a new NCAA-era single-game school record for shots in a game.
 
BC's defensive effort held the Scotties to just a lone shot attempt in the match, and Nicole Arroyo (1-0) gathered her one save chance of the match. ASC keeper Olivia Rosario turned away 13 Tornado shot attempts for the Scotties.
 
The Tornados got their offense going in the 10^th minute after dominating possession, when Rubin kickstarted a buildup with a ball over the top that found Mozley, who passed to Zvekan. The junior from Draper, Utah finished the chance, putting the Tornados up 1-0.
 
Mozley scored her first collegiate goal in the 16^th minute off a Zvekan assist. Zvekan found Mozley again just three minutes later, giving Brevard a commanding 3-0 advantage.
 
Following just over 40 minutes of scoreless action, Porcelli was fouled hard in the box and calmly converted her penalty attempt, pushing the Tornado advantage up to a four-goal margin. Diniz, a first-year Tornado from Brazil, was fouled in the box just three minutes later and also put her penalty attempt in the back of the net, pushing the lead up to 5-0 with under 30 minutes left to play. Finally, Rubin's first collegiate goal off Porcelli's assist in the 73^rd minute capped things off in the successful season opener for the Tornados.
 
Brevard hits the road this weekend in a Virginia road trip to face Eastern Mennonite on Friday at 2 p.m. and Hollins on Saturday at 3 p.m.
