Mary Baldwin scored two goals in the final 20 minutes Wednesday afternoon to come from behind and defeat Averett, 2-1, in USA South Athletic Conference women's soccer action.

Averett tallied first when high-scoring freshman Celia de Diego ran down a long pass from Thania Hernandez and scored on a shot from the right side that nestled into the net just inside the far post, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute of action. The goal was the 12th this season for de Diego, tying her for the most goals scored in the conference.

The Cougars held the 1-0 lead until the 71st minute when Isabelle Fraher slid a pass across the box and Shea Rider deposited the ball into the back of the net for her seventh goal of the season to tie he score at 1-1.

With less than two minutes left to play in regulation a pass glanced off MBU's Sam Manfre and Annie Ammons controlled the loose ball and scored the game-winner from the top of the box. The goal was No. 7 this season for Ammons.

Mary Baldwin, now 6-4-1 overall and 2-1-1 in the conference, is back in action Saturday when the Sqyirrels host N.C. Wesleyan.
