Box Score

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The North Florida women's soccer team fell 5-1 to Miami in non-conference action this Sunday in Coral Gables.

The Ospreys (1-6-0) now turn their attention to returning home and their last two non-conference matches of the season.

"We are obviously disappointed with the result. The first goal was a PK which they happen. To give up a goal right after is completely unacceptable," said coach Robin Confer. "To give up another goal on a set piece where we mentally shut down can't happen."

The Hurricanes (3-4-0) opened up the match with a goal in the 16^th minute, where Amy Schmidt scored on a penalty kick goal.

Soon after Miami pushed it to 2-0 in the 17^th minute where Gracie Lachowecki was able to beat the keeper in the box for the score.

The Hurricanes then followed up in the 30^th minute with a goal by Grace Rapp, who went unassisted into the box and beat the keeper.

Miami scored again in the 68^th minute, when Jasmine Paterson found the net off of a cross.

The Ospreys rebounded with a goal in the 68^th minute Senior Lanie Keating got a penalty kick opportunity and found the left side of the net on a low kick, breaking the Ospreys scoreless streak that spanned from the first match of the season.

Miami pushed the lead up to the eventual final of 5-1 in the 71^st minute, when Grace Rapp found the net on a hard shot that went in off a rebound from a Victoria Ekeli save.

The Ospreys almost got their second goal of the match in the 85^th minute where sophomore Caitlin Kader found junior Gabrielle Ligouri on a corner kick, but Ligouri's diving header went just wide right.

"I told our team today that the difference would be winning individual battles and we didn't do that today," added Confer.

The Ospreys return home next weekend for matches against Furman on Friday and Georgia Southern on Sunday at Hodges Stadium.
