Box Score

SEARCY, Ark. -- University of North Alabama women's soccer coach Graham Winkworth called it one of his team's most complete performances of the season Friday as the Lions picked up a 3-0 Gulf South Conference win on the road over Harding.

It was the eighth straight win for the Lions who are now 14-1-1 overall and 5-0 in the GSC. The 14 overall wins and five league wins both extend school records already set this season. The shutout was UNA's eighth of the season, extending that school record as well.

Freshman Chloe Roberts scored two unassisted first half goals to give UNA a 2-0 lead at intermission. The goals push her season total to 25. Julia Osmond then scored her third goal of the season in the 68th minute off an assist from Nikki Brown. It was Brown's 13th assist of the season.

UNA out-shot Harding 16-9 and North Alabama goalkeeper Alex McLay had four saves in getting her sixth shutout in goal.

UNA, ranked 24th in the NCAA Division II,  will have a week off before playing the biggest match in the 13-year history of its soccer program on October 23 when the Lions travel to Pensacola, Fla., to take on second ranked West Florida.
