The Lispcomb Lady Bisons soccer team got its first-ever conference win last Friday, defeating USC-Upstate 1-0 on a goal early in the second half.
Statistically, it was their best game of the year, as they mounted 23 scoring chances to Upstate's 21. This marks the first time all year the Lady Bisons have had more scoring chances than the opposition. Their two previous best performances came against Jackson State (a 1-0 OT win where they were out-chanced 14-12) and Central Arkansas (a 2-1 loss where UCA had 23 chances to Lipscomb's 18).
I guess there's something to say for confidence -- and defense -- considering that Lipscomb was coming off a dreadful North Carolina trip where they escaped with a 1-0 loss and a 0-0 tie depsite giving up 86 scoring chances in two games while mounting only 16. The 86 chances doesn't say much about Lipscomb's ability to possess the ball in the midfield, but the one goal is a credit to goal-mouth defense.
The Lady Bisons' all-time Atlantic Sun record improves to 1-38-3 with the win.
