UNF-Liberty Boxscore
JACKSONVILLE -- Junior Thais Reiss continued her string of goal scoring, netting the game winning goal in overtime to secure a 1-0 victory for North Florida women's soccer in their ASUN Conference opener against Liberty on Sunday afternoon.
RECORDS
North Florida | 7-3-1 (1-0-0 ASUN)
Liberty | 5-5-2 (1-1-0 ASUN)
GOALS
UNF - 97' | Thais Reiss (Hollyn Knight)
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Much of the opening half was spent in middle third of the pitch as both teams struggled to have consistent possession of the ball
- Carmel Oliveira had UNF's first chance, putting a shot on goal in the 16th minute off a pass from Thais Reiss
- Liberty's initial opportunity came in the 24th minute as a free kick from Kailey Neef banged off the crossbar
- Late in the first stanza, Devyn Encalada broke free and got into a scoring position but her shot attempt caromed off the crossbar
- UNF finished with three shots in the first half to a pair for Liberty
- The Flames Gabrielle Farrell saw a shot off a free kick soar high in the 53rd minute
- Reiss answered with a shot on goal via a free kick in the 62nd minute that was saved by the Liberty keeper
- LU's Nicole Crutchfield nearly tallied the game winner in regulation but her screamer in the 75th minute was deftly turned away by Rhiannon Conelley
- Kendra Hoffman notched a shot on goal in the 79th minute for the Ospreys
- In the extra session, the match was again contested primarily in the middle third
- The Ospreys eventually netted the decisive score as Hollyn Knight slipped a pass to Reiss at the top of the 18-yard box setting up a bending left-footed shot into the top left corner
- For the game, North Florida out shot Liberty, 8-5
- UNF goalkeeper Rhiannon Conelley earned the shutout win with one save
QUICK KICKS
- Reiss tallied her team leading 9th goal of the season | She is now one goal shy of UNF's D1 single season goal record
- She collected her fourth match winner of the year | Marked her UNF program record 11th career match winner
- Reiss moved into third on UNF's all-time goal list with her 21st of her career (2nd in DI era)
- Conelley posted her 13th career shutout, setting the program's career DI record and moving into third on the all-time list
- Knight picked up her second assist of the season
- North Florida extended its ASUN opening undefeated streak to three seasons with the victory
- Osprey's seven wins matches last year's season total
- Liberty had a five-match undefeated streak (four match win streak) snapped in the loss
- UNF avenged a 2-1 season ending loss at Liberty last year
FAULCONER TALES
"Incredibly proud of this team today and what a great start to conference play. Liberty came in here on a roll and played a very difficult non conference schedule. They are a very good team and presented a wide variety of issues that I thought we dealt with quite well. Our team defending was excellent and we did enough on the attack to create some chances. Anytime you can flip a result from the year before it is a step in the right direction. We will enjoy this today, but quickly turn our attention to a difficult conference road swing next week. We have been a very good team on the road this year and we will look to continue to build on today's result." - Head coach Eric Faulconer
