ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Robyn Busha scored midway through the first half and that goal stood up as UNC Asheville edged High Point, 1-0 in women's soccer action at Greenwood Field Friday afternoon.
The Bulldogs improved their record to 4-4-1 overall and 2-1-2 in the Big South. The victory snapped a five-game winless streak for Asheville. The Panthers dropped to 3-10 overall and 2-3 in the BSC. The loss broke a two-game HPU winning streak.
"We played pretty well today against a good team in High Point," stated Asheville coach Michele Cornish. "We were glad to get a goal and get a lead and then our defense was solid in the second half."
The only goal came at the 32:56 mark of the first half. Lauren Wingo sent a pass to Busha who then hit a shot from 20 yards out for her fifth goal of the season.
High Point's best opportunity came with three minutes left when Traci Anderson hit the cross bar on a shot from five yards out.
