The Lady Mocs soccer team fell to 2-12-2 overall and 2-7-1 in the league after a devastating 8-0 loss to Furman in the regular season finale Thursday, Nov. 1.
Rachel Fry made the first goal of the night for Furman in the 28th minute, the beginning of Furman's assault on the Mocs. In the end, Furman out shot the Lady Mocs 32-4 and held a 20-0 edge in shots on goal.
Furman took a 2-0 halftime lead after midfielder Margaret Antonik beat UTC keeper Milla Junni top shelf. Furman did not relent in the second-half.
Katie Tucker and Sara El-Shami kicked in goals just 30 seconds apart at 49:27, before Fry kicked her second goal of the night and her tenth goal of the season at 53:39. Anna Betton then capitalized on the embarrassment of the Mocs with a steal from a defender and a 12-yard goal in the 77th minute. Betton leads the league with 13 goals this season.
After that, Furman's Olivia Dashiell made her third goal of the season at 82:30 and the final late own goal finished the score at 8-0.
