Trio of goals propels the Bulldogs over the Lancers

10.15.2022 | Women's Soccer

FARMVILLE, Va. - Three of the UNC Asheville women's soccer team's top scorers notched goals on Saturday in a 3-1 win on the road at Longwood. Azalea Mihailovich and Kaiya Boyd each scored their third goals of the season, while Solveig Schlitter scored the second goal of her freshman year to bring the Bulldogs to 4-8-3 overall and 2-4-1 in the Big South Conference. 

Mihailovich had her best collegiate performance to date, as she took part in every scoring play and had the second most points in a match for the Bulldogs this season with four (a goal, two assists).

The Bulldogs started the first half off running, as Mihailovich found Schlitter on a back door cut to the net for an easy tap-in past the goalkeeper, putting Asheville up 1-0 in the fourth minute of the match. 
  The rest of the first half was a defensive battle as Longwood looked to tie the score. Despite the Lancers putting up nine shots to Asheville's seven, only two of Longwood's shots were on target, with the pair of shots being stopped by the goalkeeper Bronwyn Luitwieler.

Longwood struck back early in the second half, as the Lancer snuck a pass behind the Bulldog defenders to even up the match, 1-1.

The tie did not hold for long as Schlitter returned the favor to Mihailovich in the 58th minute. After receiving a free kick cross from Anna Doane, Schlitter passed the ball over the defenders' head to Mihailovich for a strike to the far post to retake the lead, 2-1.
  The Bulldogs were not done yet, scoring yet again in the 85th minute. The play began with a corner kick from Mihailovich, which found Boyd in the box, who headed it past the keeper to put the Bulldogs up 3-1, which turned out to be the final score.
  The Bulldogs will be back in action next Saturday when they play at home on Senior Night against Campbell in a game scheduled for 6 p.m. on ESPN+.
