Liberty's Seniors Lead the Way in Victory over North Florida
10/21/2018 12:00:00 AM | Women's Soccer
In the final game of the regular season, Liberty women's soccer relied on its seniors to come up clutch and on Senior Day at Osborne Stadium, the veteran group delivered. The Lady Flames would have to come from behind and score two goals in the second half from a pair of seniors, giving Liberty the 2-1 win over North Florida.
Scoring Summary
24' – NORTH FLORIDA – Own Goal (Unassisted)
67' – LIBERTY – Lauren Weygandt (Assist by Kailey Neef and Abigail Persson)
84' – LIBERTY – Devon Sipala (Assist by Lauren Weygandt)
Turning Point
Midway through the second half Liberty turned the corner, outshooting North Florida 11-3 in the second half. The Lady Flames' backline did not allow a single shot on goal in the second half as Weygandt recorded three points with a goal and an assist in the second half to pull out the come-from-behind victory.
