GREENSBORO, NC – In a match-up of the top two teams in the Southern Conference Pre-season Coaches' Poll, UNC Greensboro won its 10th straight home conference game, 2-0, over pre-season favorite Furman at UNCG Soccer Stadium on Friday night.

UNCG is now 12-0 all-time in conference openers, including 4-0 in SoCon openers under Eddie Radwanski and 8-0 all-time since joining the SoCon.

Amy Carnell and Nicollette DeLaine provided the offense for UNCG (5-3-0, 1-0-0 SoCon). Carnell scored on UNCG's first shot, a header off a long throw-in by Karla Davis at the 5:02 mark.

The Spartans got an insurance goal at 65:59 when DeLaine dribbled down the right side and took a shot from 22 yards out. The ball hit off the inside of the right post and went into the goal for a 2-0 UNCG advantage.

The defense did the rest as Jennifer Stillman recorded the shutout. She recorded five saves in the win.

“It is always good to get a good win over your rival and the first conference win,” said UNCG coach Eddie Radwanski. “Obviously, we were quite pleased with the way we played. We controlled the tempo, we defended them well and attacked well. It was a good team effort with contribution from everyone.”

Furman (2-7-0, 0-1-0 SoCon) suffered its third straight loss, all by shutout.

UNCG will take to the road next Thursday to face College of Charleston beginning at 7 p.m.
