Wolves Fall to Saints on Late Second-Half Goal

GAFFNEY, S.C. -- A late goal from the Limestone Saints was the difference on Sunday afternoon, as they slipped past the Newberry women's soccer team, 1-0. The loss drops the Wolves to a 3-3 record this season, with a 1-3 record in conference play.

After a scoreless first half that saw Newberry unable to even get a shot off, it looked like the second-half was going to end up the same way, as neither team was able to find the back of the net until the 83rd minute, when Limestone's Andrea Zwinkels found the back of the net to put the Saints up 1-0, which would end up being the final score, as Newberry couldn't get a shot off in the closing minutes.

The Wolves only had two shots in the game, with the first coming in the 63rd minute when Jaidyn Jacobs took a shot from just outside the box, but it sailed wide left past the Limestone goalkeeper. Ashlee Rotert had a look in the 81st minute from the left side of the field, but the Saints goalkeeper was able to make her only save of the game. Jayleen Gant played the final 45 minutes in net for the Wolves, making three saves. Delaney Hood got the start for Newberry and made one save in 45 minutes of action.

Inside the Boxscore
  • Grant's three saves is the second-most for a Newberry keeper this season, behind the four saves that Hood made on March 4 against Anderson. Hood has made 14 saves this season to lead the Wolves, while also starting all six games for the Wolves.
  • Courtney Velazquez has been on the field for every minute this season, making her one of the only players in the conference to be on the field for every minute played this season. 
  • Jacobs continues to lead the conference with 11 points this season. She has five goals this season, which is most in the conference, along with an assist. She has a pair of game-winning goals, second-most in the SAC.
Up Next
The Wolves will be on the road Thursday evening when they take on Queens University at 5 p.m. They will then wrap up the regular season on April 1 when they host Anderson for a 4:30 p.m. start.
