PENSACOLA, Fla. -- What was billed as the Gulf South Conference Match of the Year never materialized for the University of North Alabama Friday night as the Lions fell to West Florida 4-0.

In a game that pitted 15-0 and No. 1 ranked West Florida against the 14-1-1 and No. 23 ranked North Alabama, the Argonauts scored in the eighth minute and rolled to a 3-0 lead at intermission. West Florida added an insurance goal in  the second half for the 4-0 win.

The loss, which snapped an eight-match winning streak for UNA, drops the Lions to 6-1 in the GSC. West Florida is now 7-0 in league play.

UNA was out-shot 21-3 in the game and the Lions' goalkeeper had seven saves.

West Florida got two goals from Shakira Duncan and one each from Shameka and Shaneka Gordon.

It was UNA's first loss since Sept. 11 when the Lions lost 1-0 at Newberry.
