BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – The UNC Asheville women's soccer team outshot VMI on Friday night, but saw the Keydets put seven of their nine total shots on goal in VMI's 3-1 victory.
THE TURNING POINT
VMI put 78 percent of their shots on goal Friday night, and added four corner kicks, while Asheville put 41 percent (8 of 22 shots) on goal and had zero corners.
NOTABLES
-Emma Houser finished with five shots to lead Asheville, including scoring their only goal in the 31st minute that tied that game at that point.
-Kennedy Garrett and Justine James each finished with four shots in the loss.
-Garrett now leads the Bulldogs with 17 total shots this season.
QUOTABLES
“This game is a disappointment, one we will look back on and regret. This result is a direct reflection of our lack of competitiveness the first 35 minutes. We found out today that the game will punish you if you don't respect it enough to compete for every ball, every sequence and every opponent. Unfortunately, when you give an entire half of soccer away, most times it is not enough to win the full battle. We must regroup and get back on the field Sunday. Chattanooga is very organized and determined.” - Head Coach Michelle Demko
UP NEXT
-Following tonight's loss, Asheville is back in action on Sunday afternoon when they take on UT Chattanooga in Boiling Springs.
