SPARTANBURG, S.C.- The Valkyries post their second straight double-digit win season after a 1-0 tough fought victory over Lees-McRae on Saturday evening.  It is the second season in a row that Converse has defeated LMC.

Converse (10-6, 6-4) was awarded a free kick outside the box in the 25'.  Ella Ritchie (Derby, England) lined up to take the kick and chipped it over the Lees-McRae (4-10-1, 2-6-1) defenders and found the head of Natalie Johnson (Leicester, England) for the eventual game-winner.
