ASHEVILLE, N.C. – UNC Asheville women's soccer will take on Longwood in a Big South Conference matchup Saturday morning. The match will now begin at 10:30 a.m. at Greenwood Field. The start time was moved up due to forecasted inclement weather Saturday afternoon.
The Bulldogs took on Charleston Southern last weekend at Greenwood Field. Courtney McCluskey opened the scoring with her first career goal in the 35th minute on an assist by Alice Walker. Six minutes into the second half Olivia Lenderman took a corner kick that found the foot of Barrett Eidson that Eidson scored for her second goal of the season. The Bulldogs couldn't overcome a strong second half from the Buccaneers as Charleston Southern claimed the 4-2 victory.
The Bulldogs (4-11, 2-5) secured their second Big South Conference victory of the season, Wednesday, October 9, with a 1-0 shutout victory of the Hampton Pirates in Hampton, Va.
Gillian Oyos put the Bulldogs up in the 35th minute with her second goal of the year. The Bulldogs were awarded a penalty kick after a handball was called in the box. Oyos placed the ball perfectly in the bottom left corner that was just out of reach of the Hampton goalkeeper. That goal proved to be the difference as the Bulldog defense held the Lady Pirates without a goal to secure UNC Asheville's fourth shutout of the season.
The Bulldogs defeated USC Upstate, 1-0, at Greenwood Field for their first win of the conference season, September 25. Gillian Oyos scored the game-winning goal in the game's 107th minute to beat the Spartans 1-0. Oyos' goal was scored off of a corner kick by Alice Walker that was deflected by a Spartan defender.
The Longwood Lancers are 5-7-1 overall and 3-3-1 within the Big South Conference. The Lancers have picked up victories against Hampton, Radford and USC Upstate while dropping matches to Presbyterian, Winthrop and Campbell. Longwood's only road win on the season was their 4-0 victory against Hampton on September 25.
Last season, the match between the Bulldogs and the Lancers ended in a 2-2 tie in Farmville, Va.
