RALEIGH, N.C. - Kristin Player and Katelynn Donovan each netted one goal apiece to lead the UNC Greensboro women’s soccer team to a 2-1 win over Virginia Commonwealth in the final game of the NC State/Residence Inn North Tournament.

UNCG led the Rams (0-4-0) on the offensive front, registering eight goals to VCU’s three. Three of the Spartans eight shots were on net while the Rams managed just two shots on goal, forcing UNCG goalkeeper Kelsey Kearney to make just one save in her first collegiate start.

VCU got on the board first with a goal in the ninth minute of play.  Francesca Gioeli took a cross from Megan Flanagan and sent her shot into the bottom right corner to give the Rams an early 1-0 lead.
