LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. - The Meredith College Avenging Angels pulled out a 2-1 win at Covenant Saturday as Cassie Padilla scored the winning goal with less than one minute remaining in regulation. Senior defender Megan Luke recorded an assist on the play.

Both teams opened the contest trading shots for an early advantage. The Angels outshot Covenant eight-to-four in the first half with Wallace leading the way for the Angels with four. But the Scots struck first as Natalie Smith scored off of a Ruth Terry corner in the 32nd minute.
