Women's Soccer Falls to Samford, 1-0

Box Score GREENSBORO, N.C. – After a hard-fought battle, the UNCG women's soccer team came up just short against Samford, 1-0, Sunday afternoon at the UNCG Soccer Stadium.

In a muggy, rainy contest both teams played a post-season type game with the Bulldogs scoring the game-winning goal in the 74th minute off a counter-attack. In the 74th minute, sophomore Katelyn Mountjoy (Highland Village, Texas/Marcus) found a streaking Candice Forbes (Pleasant Garden, N.C./Southeast Guilford) who had a breakaway with the keeper but Bulldogs keeper Anna Maddox stopped her shot.

Just 28 seconds later, Samford made a run finding the feet of sophomore Malcanisha Kelley who beat two defenders and fired a shot that deflected off Chloe Buehler (Perrysburg, Ohio/Perrysburg/Penn State) into the net. It was Kelley's sixth goal of the season.

With the dramatic loss, UNCG ends a seven-game unbeaten streak falling to 7-5-3, 3-1-1 in the SoCon. Samford moves into second place with the victory at 9-6, 4-1 in conference action.

The Blue and Gold finished with 16 shots holding Samford to just 11 in the game. Bulldogs goalkeeper Maddux had a game-high 11 saves to keep UNCG from scoring. Buehler ended the game with six saves for the Spartans.

UNCG had a great chance in the 69th minute after Mountjoy launched a shot from 20 yards out hitting the crossbar.

With just under a minute left, Forbes had another chance inside the box but her shot went just wide.

In the first half, the Spartans took 10 shots and held Samford to just six. UNCG finished with three corners while holding the Bulldogs to just two.

Samford had its best chance in the 7th minute after a corner kick from Jermaine Seoposenwe found Anna Allen who hit the crossbar off a header.

Junior Chesney White (Franklin, Tenn./Franklin) led the team with four shots, including a scoring opportunity in the 44th minute after firing a shot towards the net but Anna Maddox made the save.

Buehler made five saves in the first half to keep Samford off the scoreboard. UNCG faces Samford Sunday, Oct. 12 at 2 p.m. at the UNCG Soccer Stadium.
