Box Score GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNCG women's soccer team (3-7-3) played 110 minutes of high-intensity soccer against Furman (8-4-1) Friday night as a blanket of mist fell over Stone Soccer Stadium on the campus of Furman University. Neither team was able to score resulting in a 0-0 stalemate as both squads move to 1-1-1 in Southern Conference play.
UNCG dominated the first half of regulation with five corner kicks to the Paladins zero while holding a slight 9-4 advantage in shots. The second half of play was controlled more by Furman's offense that fired off ten shots and took a 5-1 advantage in corner kicks. At the end of regulation, UNCG led Furman 16-14 in shots and 6-5 in corners but both goalkeepers made five saves.
Chloe Buehler (Perrysbury, Ohio/Penn State) made all five saves in regulation, as the Paladins were unable to get a shot on goal in either overtime period.
Georgia Brown (Queenstown, New Zealand/St. Hilda's Collegiate) took a game-high six shots while both of Katelyn Mountjoy's (Highland Village, Texas/Marcus) shots were on goal. The Spartans 18-shot performance is the most since UNCG took 20 shots in the 2-0 victory over Eastern Kentucky August 30.
UNCG now leads the all-time series between the SoCon foes 14-11-3. However, in most recent years, the two squads are 2-2-2 in their last six meetings. Tonight's stalemate marks two consecutive trips to Greenville where the Spartans have tied Furman after two overtime periods marking the eighth overtime game in program history between the two teams.
The women's soccer team has a quick turn around and will travel to Spartanburg, S.C., to face Wofford (2-4-3, 1-1-1) Sunday afternoon to continue their four-game road stretch. Kickoff is at 2 p.m. The Terriers are coming off a 1-0 SoCon victory over VMI Friday night.
