OWENSBORO, Ky. -- The University of North Alabama built a 3-0 lead by intermission and held on for a 3-1 soccer win at Kentucky Wesleyan Friday. The Lions now 17-2-1, got goals from Chloe Roberts and Jo Chubb and an own-goal from Kentucky Wesleyan. The Lions then returned the favor, scoring an own-goal for the Panthers in the 50th minute.

UNA got on the board at 7:22 when Roberts scored her 29th goal of the season off an assist from Kelli Coffman. Chubb then scored in the 26th minute off an assist from Nikki Brown.

Chubb was then credited with an assist when KWC played the ball she had sent into the box, into the net. UNA then netted a goal for the Panthers to make the final count 3-1.

"We din't play that well today, but I'm proud of our players for hanging in there and getting their 17th win," said UNA head coach Graham Winkworth. "Now we have to turn our attention to the Gulf South Conference Tournament coming on Friday."

The Lions will face Alabama-Huntsville in Pensacola on Friday (Nov. 6) in the semifinals of the four-team event. UNA defeated UAH 2-0 earlier this season.
