Women's Soccer Comes Up Short in Season Finale at Liberty
10/21/2018 4:26:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Liberty vs UNF Final Boxscore
LYNCHBURG, Va. -- Looking to extend its season, the North Florida women's soccer team battled at ASUN newcomer Liberty on Sunday afternoon but came up just short in a hard fought 2-1 loss in the season finale for the Ospreys.
GOALS
UNF - 24' Own Goal
LIB - 67' Lauren Weygandt (Asst: Kailey Neef, Abigail Persson)
LIB - 84' Devon Sipala (Asst: Laruen Weygandt)
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Both teams displayed an offensive mindset in the opening half combining for 12 shots (UNF 5, LIB 7)
- The Ospreys struck first in the 24th minute as Thais Reiss whipped a bending free kick into the box which eventually deflected off a Liberty defender into the net for an own goal and a 1-0 UNF advantage
- North Florida maintained its advantage to intermission
- The Flames connected on the equalizer midway through the closing period when Lauren Weygandt shot a ball that was tipped around following a free kick opportunity
- In the closing minutes, Liberty tallied the game winner after Weygandt's shot was blocked by the UNF defense but corraled by Devon Sipala in front of the net and pushed back in for the goal in the 84th minute
- The Flames posted an 11-3 shot margin over the final 45 minutes of play
QUICK KICKS
- Sophomore goalkeeper Rhiannon Conelley matched her career best, recording 8 saves in the contest
- North Florida closed the season with four consecutive road contests, posting a 2-2 mark
- With the loss, UNF ends the season 7-8-1 (2-5-1 ASUN) and seventh in the conference standings
- Liberty advances to ASUNÂ quarterfinal action as the No. 5 seed, finishing the regular season a 6-10-0 (5-3-0 ASUN)
- The Ospreys finished the game with eight shot attempts led by three from Lisa Cedeno
CONFER COMMENTS
"Today was tough. Liberty is a good team a made it difficult for us to play. Obviously we are disappointed with the result and not advancing to the ASUNÂ Tournament. The good news is we return all but one starter and know we left some unfinished business on the field this year. That should be plenty of motivation for these ladies in the offseason. They fought until the end and were very resilient all year long. I want to thank our seniors for the sacrifices they made to make the program better." - Head coach Robin Confer
UP NEXT
North Florida's 2018 campaign is now complete. The seven victories were the second highest total in the last six years.Â
