DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Martin Methodist junior Sara Perrigan tallied three points as the fifth-seeded Redhawks advanced to the quarterfinal round with a 3-0 victory over No. 12 King (Tenn.), Friday at the NAIA Women's Soccer tournament. All three of the goals came in the first half of play for the Redhawks, who are now 17-4 on the year. The King College Tornado end their season at 17-4-1 with the loss

After a King foul in the sixth minute, Julia Bazi took the ensuing free kick with the outside of her right foot and ball found Victoria Charmley whose header glanced off a King defender and into the net for a 1-0 Martin Methodist lead.

At the 36:06 mark, the Tornado sent the ball over the touch line and Sara Perrigan's right-footed in-swinger on the corner kick sailed untouched into the back of the net to make the score 2-0.

Another corner kick led to the Redhawks' third goal of the match as Misty Facey finished Perrigan's third corner kick attempt in the 44th minute for the win.

Martin Methodist will take on No. 4 Concordia (Ore.) at 2:30 on Saturday.
