Last Time Out
The Pirates earned a 1-0 win and did so in dominant fashion against Florida Atlantic. Jazmin Ferguson scored the winner off assists from Samantha Moxie and Lucy Fazackerley but it was the defense that was the story of the game as the team put a full team performance together, not allowing a single shot for the Owls while controlling possession and creating 11 shots of their own.

Scouting the Spartans
UNC Greensboro on a good run of play over their last three contests. Before battling Duke to a 1-0 loss, the Spartans defeated Coastal Carolina 3-0 and Elon 2-0. At 3-4-1 on the year, the team seems to be trending in the right direction and they are led by Ava Kiss and Caroline Woods offensively with two goals apiece.
Series History
The Pirates and Spartans have met seven times throughout their histories, all since 2010. UNC Greensboro holds a 4-3 advantage in those games with a 2-0 win in the most recent matchup just last season. Gabby Santora and Ava Kiss scored the goals in that contest in Johnson Stadium.
