ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville women's soccer team celebrated Senior Day by honoring seven seniors prior to Saturday's match, but the Bulldogs fell, 3-0, to Radford at Greenwood Field.
Between the seven graduating seniors (Maddie Getz, Bella Iorio, Ryanna Hammond, Kyra Kandel, Justine James, Ellie Stone and Maura Coolbaugh), the Bulldogs combined for 324 games played, over 20,000 minutes of action, 16 goals scored, 10 assists, 42 points, 14 shutouts and five game-winning goals.
BULLDOG BITES
How It Happened
Radford started the game quickly by taking six shots in the first 12 minutes of play. Asheville ended the Highlanders stretch, as James took the Bulldogs' first attempt of the game.
After eight more Highlander shots, Radford tallied the game's first goal in the 34th minute. Jasmine Casarez tallied the goal, which was her ninth of the season.
With only 26 seconds remaining in the first half, Kandel took her first shot of the match, but the attempt sailed high.
At the halftime break, Radford out-shot UNC Asheville, 16-4.
The Highlanders continued to attack the Bulldog net after the 15-minute break, as they took six shots with two on frame.
Radford eventually found the net again in the 57th minute when Nelia Perez doubled her team's lead.
In the 75th minute, UNC Asheville's Kenzie McDowell had a prime chance to put the Bulldogs on the board. She took an attempt from inside the 18-yard box, but the shot hit the crossbar. Bella Iorio found the rebound a few seconds later and forced a shot on goal. The Radford goalkeeper made the save and kept Asheville off the scoreboard.
The Highlanders sealed the victory in the 87th minute, as they earned their third goal of the game. Unfortunately, it was an own goal for Asheville, as it deflected off a Bulldog and into their own net.
Radford struck 27 total shots and put 12 on goal, and UNC Asheville put up eight total shots with three on frame.
Freshman goalkeeper Courtney O'Malley had her work cut out, as she made nine saves on Saturday.
What's Next?
To conclude the regular season, the Bulldogs will travel to Clinton, S.C. to square off with Presbyterian on Tuesday, Oct. 23. The match will start at 7 p.m. at Martin Stadium.
The Bulldogs and Blue Hose were originally set to play on Sept. 26, but the match was postponed due to inclement weather in Clinton.
