Greensboro, N.C. – Caroline Woods scored with less than 10 minutes remaining in the first half and UNC Greensboro held on down the stretch to snap Furman's six-match unbeaten run with a 1-0 decision on Sunday afternoon at UNCG Soccer Stadium in Greensboro, NC.
 
UNCG controlled the possession and scoring opportunities before finding the breakthrough in the 36^th minute. After a scramble near the top of the box that saw Furman block several UNCG attempts, Woods gathered the ball on the right side of the box off a pass from Claire Esse and lashed a shot across the face of goal into the left-hand corner at the 35:01 mark to put the Spartans on top. The strike marked the third goal of the campaign for Woods.
 
Furman (5-4-5, 1-1-4 SoCon) went on the attack in the second half. Forwards Valentina Mosquera and Norah Roller forced saves in the early portion of the second half before Spartan goalkeeper Abby Buchholz punched Shania Diaz's goal-bound free kick over the cross bar in the 78^th minute. Less than two minutes later, defender Miya Poplin curled a free kick from the midfield stripe into the path of Maddie Massie in the box, but the freshman's left-footed one-time flashed over the bar. Buchholz made one more diving save at the right post in the 88^th minute to deny Diaz's bid for an equalizer.
 
UNCG (5-8-2, 2-4-1) finished the match with a 12-7 advantage in total shots while Furman claimed a 4-3 edge in shots on goal. The Spartans fashioned a 7-6 edge in corner kicks earned.
 
Buchholz stopped four shots to earn the victory for UNCG and Furman's Addison Corn notched two saves in a losing effort for the Paladins.
 
Furman is back in action on Thursday when it travels to Lexington, Va., to take on SoCon foe VMI at 4 p.m. The Paladins return home to host Mercer for Senior Day on Sunday, October 15.
