The scoring started when at the 41st minute Valentina Mosquera took a great pass by Shania Diaz and nails the kick past a ETSU goalkeeper to make it 1-0 as we head into halftime. The Paladins with great defense would keep ETSU at bay before getting the next goal at the 70th minute when Tara Katz gets by the ETSU defense and nails the goal to make it 2-0 Furman in the lead. ‘It feels great to get the victory,” said Paladin head coach Andrew Burr. “We are playing our best soccer of the year at the right time. We’ve talked with our team all season about playing our best for three straight matches in November and we started well tonight.”
