The Murray State women's soccer team scored a 2-0 win in the first round of the Tennessee-Martin tournament Friday over Christian Brothers University. The win for the Racers improved their 2007 record to 2-3.

The Racers and Buccaneers played a scoreless first half. Impressive for freshman goal tender Tessa Williams who was making her first collegiate start in the match.

The Racers got the game's first goal in the 67^th minute when another MSU freshman Katie Wilson made an outstanding individual play. Williams intercepted a CBU pass near midfield and cut her way around three defenders and scored unassisted for her first MSU goal.

Rebekah Clay scored her third goal of the season off a feed from Renata Figueira in the 74^th minute to put the game away.

The Murray State defense cleaned up the remaining 16 minutes for their second shut out of the season.

MSU dominated play against CBU with 20 shots, while they held the Bucs to nine.

Williams played all 90 minutes in goal and stopped all six shots she faced.

The Racers have played five games this season and all have been decided by a shut out.

MSU can grab at least a share of the UTM tournament championship with a win over Bacone College Sunday in Martin, Tenn. at noon.
