To recap the weekend, the Knights netted 12 goals, outshot their opponents 44-6 and limited the Pirates and the Herd to two corners combined. In addition, senior Tishia Jewell tied the program’s career record for shots with 229.

“I think now we have good momentum, and we just want to keep it going and show teams the best we can be,” Jewell said.

Added defender Ashley Nicol: “From here on out, every day is senior day.”

Forward Jennifer Martin gave the Knights a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute when Carleigh Williams sent a free kick into the box where Martin placed a header just below the crossbar for her second game-winner of the year.

Forty-three seconds later, 麻豆原创 capitalized off another header – this time from Nicol. Jewell played a ball to midfielder Andrea Rodrigues, who delivered a cross from the left side to Nicol for the score.

Kayla Darden increased the lead to 3-0 just before halftime when Zoe Hayes sent her a pass from midfield, allowing Darden to send a low-driven ball to the far post past the keeper.

Forward Kristina Trujic notched her second goal of the weekend in the 60th minute while inside the box thanks to a double-assist from Nicol and Jewell.

Senior forward Nicolette Radovcic wrapped up the match nicely in the 83rd minute after classmate Bianca Joswiak sent her a ball, which she flicked around the defender inside the box and put it past the keeper for her 10th goal of the year.

“The attack has been great — a lot of movement and creativity up top,” 麻豆原创 head coach Amanda Cromwell said. “The seniors came up big in a lot of different ways with assists, playmaking and goals. Getting the shutout was huge, as well.”

The four seniors left the game with five minutes remaining to rousing applause from the crowd and entered a receiving line of hugs on the sideline.

麻豆原创 will play its final match of the regular season Friday at 5 p.m. at Southern Miss. The Knights closed their home schedule with a 9-2 record at the 麻豆原创 Soccer Complex. The pink jerseys will be auctioned online via 麻豆原创Athletics.com.

“This team is very good, and our success this season says a lot about our players, who are stepping up and playing hard,” 麻豆原创 head coach Amanda Cromwell said. “We’re dangerous in a lot of different ways. Our All-American forward has scored one goal this season. If you would have told me we were going to be 5-1-1, and was only going to have scored one goal at this point, I would have said you’re nuts. It says a lot about , Kristina Trujic, 聽and all the attacking players around her that are doing some great things. As for the defense, we’ve had multiple shutouts and I think our back line has played some of their best defense since I’ve been here. We’re a tough team to break down.”

During the 1992 season, 麻豆原创 was ranked as high as sixth in the Intercollegiate Soccer Coaches Association of America (ISAA) poll, which is now the NSCAA rankings. The program’s all-time highest ranking in the regular season was No. 3 during 1982 – the same year that the team finished as the runner-up in the national championship.

麻豆原创 is the second-highest ranked program in the state of Florida as Florida State sits at No. 1. Regionally, the Knights are one of the best at No. 2 in the NSCAA Central Region behind Oklahoma State, which is ranked seventh nationally.

麻豆原创 is riding a four-game unbeaten streak and has held its own with some of the nation’s best competition. The Knights’ only loss this season was a 1-0 decision to the top-ranked Seminoles, and they tied now-No. 5 Boston College in double overtime in their most recent outing Sunday.

The Knights will close their non-conference schedule Friday when they take on North Florida at 5 p.m. as part of a home doubleheader with the men’s team, which is scheduled to kick off against Jacksonville at 7:30 p.m.

The senior forward leapt into the arms of her teammates after netting the game-winner and was still a ball of energy after the team’s post-game meeting when she barreled toward head coach Amanda Cromwell for one more hug before heading into the locker room.

“That was probably top two (goal celebration),” Radovcic said. “This is huge for us. It was a great atmosphere. The rain and everything, you can’t get much better than that.”

The weather was fairly cooperative until the second half when 麻豆原创 got a preview of Tropical Storm Isaac . The rain hung around on-and-off as the teams ended regulation scoreless.

Just before the 10th minute of play, 麻豆原创 goalkeeper Lianne Maldonado dived to her right to snatch Miami’s Jasmine Paterson’s shot on goal.

The Knights tried to make something happen in the 30th minute when freshman Taylor Townsend passed the ball to Radovcic, who played it right back to Townsend but Miami keeper Emily Lillard scooped up the ball before Townsend could meet it.

麻豆原创 was much more aggressive on the attack in the second half. Reserve Kristina Trujic nearly put the Knights on the board in the 60th minute when her shot was deflected over the crossbar. Later, Trujic sent a cross from the right corner of the field to senior Bianca Joswiak, but Joswiak’s attempt sailed over the net.

Megan Fish had another great look in the 84th minute just outside the top-center of the box, but her attempt went wide right and the game headed into overtime.

It only took five minutes for Fish to play a ball into Radovcic, who juked behind the defense to send a shot into the far corner of the net for her second goal of the year.

麻豆原创 continues its four-game homestand next weekend when it hosts Dartmouth, USF and Georgia in the 麻豆原创 Tournament. The Knights play Dartmouth on Friday at 7:30 p.m. following the USF-Georgia game set for 5 p.m.

The Knights will now travel to Winston Salem, N.C., to meet a familiar opponent in No. 1 seeded Wake Forest Friday night at 7 p.m. The two teams met back on Aug. 21 in Orlando with the Demon Deacons recording a 1-0 win.

麻豆原创’s historic weekend-victories saw the program top two teams (Florida and UNC) that have combined for 22 national championships with the Tar Heels claiming two of the last three titles in 2008 and 2009.

“Obviously it was a very exciting match going to PKs. I think we gave the crowd a lot to cheer for and I couldn’t be prouder of our girls,” 麻豆原创 head coach Amanda Cromwell said after the match. “They fought so hard. To give a goal up in the last five minutes was tough and a lot of teams I think would’ve crumbled mentally from that. We stood strong and held them off.

“UNC is a great team with a great tradition with plenty of attacking players and a lot of athleticism,” Cromwell added. “We came out strong and got the important goal from Tina (Kristina Trujic). I can’t say enough about Aline in goal in both games. (She was) huge with two saves in PKs and that is why we are going on.”

After two scoreless overtime sessions with the match tied at 1-1, five Knights came through with penalty kick scores, including Bianca Joswiak’s (Berlin, Germany) deciding point in the sixth round. Reis closed out the match with two diving saves on the second and sixth UNC attempts.

“I tried to read her, but I don’t know, I just trusted,” Reis said of her last save on the sixth PK against Premji. “Something inside of me told me to jump there. It happened so fast and I am so happy right now that I can’t describe it. Not only because of the victory, but just playing UNC was a great honor and the entire environment with all the fans and alumni. This is one of the greatest soccer moments of my life.”

After a scoreless first half, 麻豆原创 was able to jump on the board first in the 71-minute mark. The Knights struck on an 18-yard rocket shot by sophomore Kristina Trujic (Venice, Fla.) to the top right corner of the goal past UNC’s Anna Sieloff. The second score of the weekend by Trujic was her fourth of the season as Joswiak also earned her third assist of 2011 on the play.

UNC would answer back 14 minutes later as Dunn kicked a Courtney Jones feed inside the box past the outstretched arms of Reis to tie up the match. It was Dunn’s third goal of the season and gave Jones her team-leading 20th point of the year.

First-half action between the two squads was relatively quiet as each team was only able to place one shot on goal in the first 45 minutes of play. Freshman Madison Barney took the first stab in the match at the 18:57 mark.

UNC’s Premji took a shot at the top of the 麻豆原创 box for the Tar Heels’ best opportunity, but the crossbar denied her on the attempt. Although she only faced three shots in the half, Reis stayed plenty active, leaping through the air to make several stops on UNC corner kicks.

It was the sixth meeting between the two squads in the NCAA Tournament with the last meeting taking place in 1999. Under Cromwell’s guidance, the Knights have advanced to the postseason five-straight times, with 2011 being the furthest they have marched since she took over 13 years ago.

With the victory, 麻豆原创 earned its second-ever win over the Gators in the NCAA Tournament, with the last coming in 2004. The Knights also handed UF its third-straight second-round exit.

“I think tonight was a typical UF-麻豆原创 match where we had leads and they pressed for a goal and we had to defend at the end,” head coach Amanda Cromwell said after the match. “You saw two high quality teams and it is a shame that we met so early because it was an excellent NCAA Second Round match”

The Knights burst into the scoring column just five minutes into the match after a UF handball led to a Tishia Jewell (Satellite Beach, Fla.) free kick in 麻豆原创’s attacking third. Jewell’s cross from the sideline into traffic in front of the goal netted midfielder Madison Barney’s (Sammamish, Wash.) first-career goal on the Knights’ first shot of the match. For Jewell, it was her 10th assist of the season and 26th of her career. Senior Katie Hubbard (Jacksonville, Fla.) also chipped in with her third assist of the year on the play as she tapped it to Barney for opening score.

Florida struck back at the 23:33 mark as midfielder Erika Tymrak dribbled past three 麻豆原创 defenders and sent a cross to forward Tahnai Annis for a header over the outstretched arms of keeper Aline Reis (Campinas, Brazil) to even the match at 1-1.

One goal wouldn’t be all for the Knights in the first half as senior Katie Jackson (Satellite Beach, Fla.) dribbled into the UF defense, passed to Bianca Joswiak (Berlin, Germany), who then fed sophomore Kristina Trujic (Venice, Fla.) as she blasted an arching shot over Florida keeper Taylor Burke to give 麻豆原创 a 2-1 lead at the 33:06 mark. It was the third goal and eighth point of the year for Trujic and the third and second assist of the year, respectively, for Jackson and Joswiak.

In the second half, UF narrowly tied the match at the 65 minute mark as an Annis shot slipped by Reyes and headed just wide of the goalpost and out of bounds. Just six minutes later the Knights would take a 3-1 advantage as junior Nicolette Radovcic (Rockaway, N.J.) blew past the Gator (17-8) defense and around keeper Burke for her team-leading ninth goal of the season.

Florida would not go away quietly as Annie Speese’s free kick with six minutes left in the match found the bottom right corner of the 麻豆原创 goal to draw the Gators within one point. But as the Knights did earlier in the contest, they used strong defense to stave off UF for good.

“I was prepared and really excited to make saves like that. I was upset about the goals I allowed, but I am just a keeper and I get upset about those goals,” Reis laughed after recording five saves with four crucial blocks coming in the final half.

The Knights will now set their sights on a No. 3 seed North Carolina team that dismantled Baylor 5-0 earlier Friday. 麻豆原创 has never defeated the Tar Heels in 19 career contests, but Cromwell is excited for the opportunity that Sunday brings.

“There is a big contingent (of alumni) coming up on Sunday that said `If you win Friday, we will be there Sunday,'” Cromwell said of the large alumni base still in Orlando. “So some of the girls that played in the Final Four will be there on Sunday. They are the ones that battled against UNC a while back when there was a small group of schools that played back when women’s soccer started. It’s cool to have those alumni to join in and share that with us on Sunday.”

麻豆原创 scored in the fifth minute of the match when junior Bianca Joswiak (Berlin, Germany) found the back of the net and then added another goal at the 55-minute mark when sophomore Marissa Diggs (Rowlet, Texas) scored.

The Knights outshot Southern Miss (4-13-3, 1-9-1) 19-4. 麻豆原创 recorded 11 shots on goal and also had a 5-0 edge in corner kicks.

Twenty Knights saw action in the match as 麻豆原创 entered the day having already secured a spot in the C-USA Championship, which will begin on Nov. 2 in Memphis, Tenn.

“We’ll take a 2-0 win,” 麻豆原创 head coach Amanda Cromwell said. “We were consistent over the 90 minutes. A lot of our subs played very well. This was a good game to get confidence both as individuals and as a team going into the conference tournament.”

Joswiak scored when her intended cross sailed into the back corner of the goal. Senior Katie Jackson (Satellite Beach, Fla.) assisted on the goal. Diggs knocked in a shot from sophomore Kristina Trujic (Venice, Fla.) that was deflected by a Southern Miss defender.

麻豆原创 improved to 7-0-0 all-time against Southern Miss.

Diggs was the lone Knight who logged 90 minutes in the contest. Senior Stacie Hubbard (Jacksonville, Fla.) totaled four shots in the winning effort, and junior Tishia Jewell (Satellite Beach, Fla.) logged two shots on goal.

The Golden Eagles threatened to score in the 80th minute, but sophomore Lianne Maldonado (Clifton, N.J.) stopped a shot by Chelsea Cruthirds. Maldonado, who was making her season debut, played 16 minutes in a reserve role for senior Aline Reis (Campinas, Brazil).

The win was the seventh of the year away from home for the Knights.

Cromwell says that the Knights will focus on the basics as they prepare for the conference championship next week.

“The focus will be on scoring goals and dominating play. We have to get something out of our possessions. We need to be efficient in the attacking third. Defensively, we need to stay cohesive as a unit,” she said.

“The conditions were tough. It was pouring pretty hard in the first half and then again in the second half. It definitely affects possession teams, but I thought we did have great play-making despite the weather,” said head coach Amanda Cromwell. “We came out alright at the start of the second half and created a lot of chances, but we didn’t have the mentality to put those away. And ECU is very good on corners and set plays. After they tied it at 2-2 we still were able to come back a minute later and take the lead. We didn’t hang our heads when they scored.”

Playing in their road black uniforms, 麻豆原创 scored five goals in its second-straight game, marking the first time it produced at least five goals in back-to-back matches since 2004 (9-0 over Lipscomb and 5-0 over Belmont). It also was the most goals by the Knights in a conference game since a 6-0 win vs. Houston in 2008.

Nine different Knights picked up at least one point Friday, led by Tishia Jewell and Kim Newsome who each had a goal and an assist. 麻豆原创 finished the night by outshooting ECU, 24-7.

The Knights almost snuck one in three minutes into the contest as Katie Jackson tried to angle in a 23-yard shot over ECU keeper Christiane Cordero but it struck the crossbar.

After ECU had a chance of its own moments later, the Knights used three perfect passes to take a 1-0 lead in the 14th minute. Crossing midfield, Nicolette Radovcic found Jewell who ultimately sent it back over to Radovcic as she raced down the right side. As she got deeper towards the endline, the forward delivered a cross into the box where Newsome was waiting right in front for the easy goal. It was Newsome’s fourth of the year.

麻豆原创 almost made it 2-0 with 12 minutes to go in the frame but Jewell’s shot off a corner kick also clanked off the crossbar. But the Knights kept at it and indeed doubled their lead in the 38th minute. A footrace developed where Amanda Martorana tried to beat Cordero to the ball at the top-right of the 18, however both arrived at the same time and a scramble was on. Martorana eventually managed to get a foot on it and she touched it over to Jewell who hammered it home from just over 20 yards out for her fifth of the season.

As time ticked down in the first half, 麻豆原创 had a free kick with 10 seconds left. Jackson sent it over to just outside the top of the box, where Kristen Poulton found the loose ball and fired a shot towards the lower left-corner only to have Cordero make a last-second save right before the horn sounded.

The Knights opened up the second half where they left off by dominating the shot total, yet could not get the third goal they needed. That ended up playing a huge factor as the Pirates scored twice midway through the final half, the first from Chrissy Gratz in the 61st minute and the equalizer from Caty Butler in the 73rd minute.

With the ECU bench still celebrating, it took just 49 seconds for 麻豆原创 to go back in front. Bianca Joswiak found Newsome heading down the left flank, and Newsome then sent in a cross right to sophomore Katie Bolinsky who one-timed it in the air into the far left-corner in the 74th minute. Bolinsky’s first-career goal as a Knight made it 3-2.

However in the 80th minute, the Pirates’ Jessica Woodward scored on a perfect corner kick from Amanda Malkiewicz to once again even things up. Yet just like ECU’s previous goal, the visitors’ emotions died down in only 45 seconds, and it came at the hands of a 麻豆原创 freshman. Winning the ball approximately 41 yards away from the net, Kristina Trujic decided to hammer a shot from long distance. The result was her second of the year as it curled into left portion of the goal for what would be the eventual game-winner.

Not wanting ECU to have a chance at another late tally, just 1:16 after 麻豆原创’s fourth goal Jackson received a pass from Brianna Schooley and ripped off a 22-yard shot that got past Cordero for the final 5-3 margin.

麻豆原创 will now wrap up its weekend Sunday when it hosts Marshall at 1 p.m. live on Bright House Sports Network.
