Florida International loses third straight: USF 1 - FIU 0

he Florida International University Women's Soccer team lost its third straight match Friday afternoon, a 1-0 heartbreaker to South Florida at Jacksonville, Fla. Despite an improvement in all around play, the Golden Panthers could not overcome the 1-0 deficit.

The Golden Panthers, who had been outshot 73-24 on the year coming into the game, kept pace in this outing, equaling USF's number of shots attempted (7). Junior Goalkeeper Adrienne McWilliams rebounded from a poor outing by allowing only one goal on the afternoon, though that goal became the difference in the game.

The Bulls' goal came off a shot from Midfielder Rachel Thjomoe in the fifty-sixth minute. Freshman Defender Carly Goldich paced the Golden Panthers with four shots attempted and two shots on goal. The Golden Panthers continue competition in Jacksonville against Jacksonville on Sunday at 2:00 p.m.
