ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville women's soccer team recorded a trio of goals in both the first and second half Friday night on their way to a 6-0 victory over Alabama A&M.
THE TURNING POINT
Justine James' steal and breakaway goal put the Bulldogs on the board in the 14th minute and the hosts never looked back, rattling off 28 shots as 18 players logged minutes.
NOTABLES
-Asheville finished with more shots in the second half (16) than they did in the first half (12).
-James' goal was the freshman's team-leading fourth of the season.
-Caroline Houser assisted on three goals on Friday night. The sophomore now has six assists on the season to go along with her one goal.
-Alabama A&M has now been outscored 27-0 over their first three contests.
-Asheville is 2-0 all-time against Alabama A&M.
QUOTABLES
“The second half was much better from us. We cleaned up a few areas at halftime that we needed to change to unlock their high and compact line. It's always great to get everyone a run in so we can stay ready and play across the roster. I thought we could have been better in the first half in regards to patience and making the right decisions in the final third. That will probably be a theme we need to address this coming week in training. Overall it was a good team win.” - Head Coach Michelle Demko
UP NEXT
-Following tonight's win, the Bulldogs now prepare for a pair of neutral site games next weekend, beginning next Friday night against VMI and continuing next Sunday with UT Chattanooga.
