GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNCG women’s soccer team (3-3-1) suffered a 1-0 loss to Liberty (3-3) Thursday night at the UNCG Soccer Stadium.

Coupled with a 5-2 loss to Hofstra on Sunday, it marks the first time the Spartans have lost back-to-back games since losing to High Point and No. 23 Kentucky on Aug. 23 and 28, 2015.

The first half was an evenly played match, but a scramble in the Spartans’ defensive end with under two minutes to go in the opening stanza resulted in Liberty’s lone goal of the game, by freshman Anna Roach.

Chloe Buehler made four saves in the first half, while Liberty’s goalkeeper, Holly Van Noord, made two in the first half and one in the second.

Cienna Rideout recorded the only shot on goal for the Spartans in the match, as they were outshot 14-9 overall. Regan Lehman accounted for a team-high three shots and logged all 90 minutes of the contest.

The Flames earned just their second win in the all-time series Thursday night but UNCG leads it 6-2.

The Spartans return to the pitch Sunday, Sept. 11, when UNCG hosts William and Mary at 2 p.m. Fans can watch live on the SoCon Digital Network and follow live stats at UNCGSpartans.com.
