LEXINGTON, Va. – In a contest that saw the teams battle both each other and the elements, the UNC Asheville Bulldogs got a diving save from goalkeeper Heather Muller with 26 seconds to go to preserve a 1-0 victory over the VMI Keydets in Big South women’s soccer action Wednesday afternoon at VMI’s Patchin Field.
With Asheville (6-9-2, 2-5-2 Big South) nursing a one-goal lead in a driving rain, VMI’s (3-13, 1-8 BSC) Myranda Emery found space to Muller’s left on the right side of the field. Emery, cutting from left to right, settled herself and laced a low bullet toward the lower right of the net, but Muller made a sprawling save to her left and controlled the rebound, preserving the victory.
Kennedy Garrett, Asheville’s leading scorer, tallied in the 60th minute for the day’s lone goal. Amanda Knapp picked up the assist on the play. Emery led the Keydets in shots with four on a day that saw the teams deadlocked in that statistic, 15-15. Perhaps the day’s most critic stat, however, saw VMI draw a stunning 11 offside violations to three for the Bulldogs.
The contest began very deliberately under clear, crisp conditions on the late October afternoon. Lizzy Cotter Article source: http://www.vmikeydets.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=209290531&DB_OEM_ID=9800
