How It Happened
  • Wofford threatened early with a shot and a corner kick in the opening five minutes of action, but Rachel Rasins' attempt was well wide and the Bulldog defense turned away the corner to maintain the early deadlock.
  • Midway through the half, The Citadel threatened and placed the first shot on goal of the contest as Logan Dix found space and fired, but Maria Mon was there for the stop despite the strong chance in the 30th minute.
  • Late in the half, Zoey Conrad nearly put The Citadel in front with another chance, but again Mon made the stop to send the two sides into the halftime break still scoreless.
  • Jess Newton made a flurry of saves to keep the Terriers off the board in the first 10 minutes of the second half, denying a trio of shots including nearly back-to-back attempts from Rasins and Katie Gilligan in the 54th minute.
  • Olivia Hughes netted the go-ahead goal for Wofford at the 60:38 mark and Rasins added another in the 88th minute to double the Terriers' advantage.
  • The Citadel pushed up offensively following Hughes' goal, but was unable to put a shot on goal over the final 30 minutes of action.
 
Inside the Numbers
  • Devyn Nyhart drew her second start of the season, while Ani Ford (fourth start) and Kate Manzione (fifth start) also slid into the starting lineup for the Bulldogs.
  • Jess Newton came up with four saves, her most in a match since the restart in the spring. The freshman has collected four or more saves in six of her appearances in 2020-21.
  • Zoey Conrad logged her first shot on goal of the spring, and Logan Dix also put one on goal after being held without a shot on goal against North Florida last week.
  • The Citadel was shut out for just the third time this season.
 
Up Next
The Citadel will wrap up the opening weekend of SoCon play on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. as the Bulldogs remain on the road to face off against Furman. The 'Dogs will be seeking to snap a five-match losing streak in the series; Furman holds an 18-2 lead all-time against The Citadel.
