Women's Soccer Drops Conference Opener at Longwood on Saturday
10.12.2024 | Women's Soccer
FARMVILLE, Va. - UNC Asheville Women's Soccer dropped its Big South Conference opener at Longwood on Saturday (Oct. 12) by a score of 1-0.
Â
Longwood would eventually break through the defensive deadlock to score on a penalty kick in the 31st minute before ultimately taking a 1-0 lead to the break.
Â
One of Asheville's best chances in the match came in the 74th minute, when Ashley Macfarlane knuckled a shot through a crowd that after a few wacky bounces ended up corralled by Longwood's keeper. Jordan Schaetzly was able to get a shot on target in the 84th minute, but Longwood would stand tall defensively to hold its shutout.
Â
Azalea Mihailovich, Alexa Francis, Macfarlane and Schaetzly each posted one shot in the match for Asheville. Gracie Murray made five saves between the pipes, just one shy of her season-high and bringing her career total to 99.
Â
The Bulldogs return to action on Wednesday (Oct. 16) at Gardner-Webb in Big South Conference action. Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. from Boiling Springs, N.C. with video and live stats available at www.uncabulldogs.com.
