North Greenville took an early lead but ultimately fell to the Trojans of Mount Olive with a final score of 24-8 in Mount Olive, North Carolina. NGU made an impact early on by scoring the first two goals of the match when
Emma Mayew and
Lauren Crane both found the back of the net. After three goals by the Trojans,
Ainsley Woodham scored the tying goal to even up the score at 3-3. However, a five goal run by Mount Olive would by too much for the Crusaders to overcome as NGU would not be able to score consecutive goals throughout the remainder of the game. North Greenville's final goal would be the first goal of the 3rd quarter to cut the deficit to six, but Mount Olive would dominate throughout the remainder of the game, closing things out with ten straight goals. NGU finished with a total of sixteen shots with thirteen of them on goal. However, turnovers would prove to be costly as nineteen turnovers were committed by North Greenville, leading to thirty-three ground balls by Mount Olive.
Emma Mayew led NGU with 3 goals and 5 draw controls while collecting 2 ground balls and a caused turnover.
Lauren Crane finished with 2 goals, 4 draw controls, and a ground ball.
Ainsley Woodham also scored 2 goals.
NGU will face the Valkyries of Converse University on Tuesday, April 9th in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
