FNU shutout by Shaw at USCAA tournament

CORAOPOLIS, Pa. (Nov. 17, 2024) — Florida National (4-7-2) lost a difficult contest to the defending national champions on its final day of the 2024 USCAA Women's Soccer Championship. The Shaw University Bears (10-6-1) posted a 3-0 victory to move on to tomorrow's title match.

Florida National came into Sunday's match after recording a historic 9-0 victory over the Carlow Celtics the previous day. Shaw performed similarly against Carlow, claiming a 7-0 victory to open the tournament. The Bears and Florida National were evenly matched through the first part of the opening period until the Bears broke away for a 1-0 lead in the 22nd minute. Brianna Garbrandt wore down FNU's defense for an unassisted goal to keep the Bears' championship hopes alive.

FNU ended the half with just one shot in the period thanks to an attempt from Bethania Pires da Cruz that smacked the crossbar two minutes after Garbrandt's score. Shaw, on the other hand, posted 10 shots in the frame.

The second half was a struggle for the conquistadors offensively. FNU had no shots in the half and goalkeeper Chelsey Giron faced nine in the second. The freshman ended the afternoon with 15 shots on goal aimed at her direction and 12 saves. Despite a sluggish offense, FNU held Shaw scoreless until Alondra Lares converted a pass from Garbrandt to double Shaw's advantage in the 73rd minute.

An 84th-minute goal from Giovanna Coghetto iced the game for the Conquistadors and signaled the end of an incredible 2024 campaign. FNU ended the match with one corner and one shot, while Shaw totaled 19 shots and two corner kicks.
