FLORENCE, S.C. (Oct. 11) – Following a late second-half surge, the University of Mount Olive women's soccer program suffered a 2-1 at Francis Marion on Wednesday night in divisional Conference Carolinas action.

With the loss, the Trojans fall to 3-3-5 overall with a 3-2-3 mark in league play. The matchup tonight featured two of the top five teams in the conference KPI rankings, which determines seeding for the league championship. Meanwhile, the Patriots improve to 7-2-2 this season behind a 4-1-2 record in league action.

After limited opportunities in the initial 21-plus minutes of the match, FMU tallied the opening shot of the contest which was saved by the goalkeeper. Mount Olive responded with a pair of shots before earning a corner kick in the 36th minute. Graduate student Samantha Hamrick delivered the cross into the box and through the traffic, senior Makenna Copley fired in her team-leading fifth goal of the season, 1-0. The Patriots totaled three shots and a corner kick in the final 10 minutes of the half, as the Trojans held a one-goal lead at the break.

In the second half, Francis Marion controlled possession and pressured the goal with several shots, as senior goalkeeper Samantha Gildner registered four saves. At the 78:34 mark, the Patriots tied the contest with a free kick into the bottom-left corner of the net from Ashley Jordan, 1-1. Just under three minutes later, FMU was awarded a penalty kick in the 82nd minute after Gildner was issued a red card for a takedown in the box. From the spot, Kristina Syragakis scored her 12th goal of the season to give Francis Marion a 2-1 advantage. The Trojans produced a late chance at the 87:50 mark as a shot from junior Tianna Hill was saved to seal the win.

Gildner recorded a season-high six saves while playing over 80-plus minutes on Wednesday.
