Furman is really getting some great chances to score but passing and offsides are costing them chances. The Bulldogs get the board first after a stolen pass and #21 makes it 1-0 UNC Asheville. Furman allowed a bad pass in front of its goal to turn into a great goal by Ava Bjorkman-Tracy.

We are at halftime and the stats are Furman with 3 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 0 saves, 2 fouls. Furman will have to take better advantages of being at the Bulldogs side of the field.

After the half #26 Jenny Jacobson gets a goal to tie the game at the 41-minute mark and the Paladins are 1-1 with the Bulldogs. Furman made sure to come out firing and made sure to finish with that goal.
