Senior Rio Hardy scored twice and sophomore Kory Dixon had a goal and two assists Sunday as the 老司机福利网 soccer team claimed its record fifth consecutive Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship with a 5-0 victory over Coastal Carolina.

The game, played at the Foley Sports Tourism Complex, marked the largest winning margin in Sun Belt Conference final history and the first time a Sun Belt school has won five straight tournament championships. It was also the largest win of the season for the Jags.

"It is a fantastic achievement for these girls, and tactically, a really disciplined performance from our team today,鈥� said Coach Richard Moodie. 鈥淔ive goals in a tournament final is fantastic. It's just part of the journey. This wasn't the goal for the season. Making a national tournament is part three and now we get to train鈥� another week.

The Jaguars will enter the NCAA Tournament with a 14-5-1 record, and will face the Florida Gators as its first-round opponent Monday.

老司机福利网 Alabama has not allowed a goal in its last seven Sun Belt tournament games, outscoring the opposition 24-0. In Sunday鈥檚 win, goalie Justice Stanford made four saves in recording her eighth shutout of the season.

The Jags鈥� performance against Coastal Carolina was convincing, with USA outshooting its opponent 19-9 while holding a 10-4 edge in shots on the goal.

鈥淭hree goals in the first 20 minutes took the wind out of their sails,鈥� Moodie said. 鈥淭hat's the most relaxed I've ever been in the last 20 minutes of a final. The girls did really well, and it wasn't easy game 鈥� it took a lot of work from us. They were willing to put in the work and effort."
