Box Score

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Getting hot at the right time. After defeating three-seed Bellarmine University on Thursday, the Lipscomb University Women's Soccer team (8-4-7) took on the top-seed and regular-season champions, the University of North Florida (9-6-4), on Sunday at Hodges Stadium. Thanks to two first-half goals in about a near 10-minute span, the Bisons will play in the ASUN Tournament Championship match for a third straight season with a 2-1 victory in the semifinals

First Half
- The Ospreys generated the first stretch of pressure, putting three shots on goal between the 10th and 13th minutes, with Sundell Woodard saving each attempt.
- The Bisons shifted forward after the 20-minute mark, recording four shots and two corner kicks before Tatum Ahlemeyer scored her eighth goal in the 27th minute off an assist from Natalia Carapazza for a 1-0 lead.
- Haylee Dean added the second goal of the match at the 36th minute, assisted by Teah Vloedman and Jaide-Simone Prejean, to put the Bisons ahead 2-0 before halftime.

Second Half
- North Florida broke the clean sheet effort when Morgan Guillemette finished to bring the Lipscomb lead to 2-1.
- Sunnie Woodard kept it there with a save on Paige McSwigan's shot in the 66th minute, and Natalia Carapazza put a shot on goal for the Bisons at 74:50.
- The Ospreys added late pressure with four shots and a corner from the 78th to 88th minutes, but Woodard made three saves in that stretch as the Bisons finished off the 2-1 win.

HERD NOTES
Lipscomb overcame a regular season loss to UNF on Sept. 27, falling to the Ospreys 1-0 in Jacksonville.

This will be the third straight season the Bisons will play for an ASUN Tournament Championship and the automatic qualifier to the NCAA Tournament. Lipscomb has won the Tournament Championship in 2024 and 2025.

Overall, the Bisons will play in the ASUN Tournament Championship for the ninth time in program history. They are 5-3 in ASUN Championship Match games.

KEY STATISTICS
Sunnie Woodard played all 90 minutes in goal and recorded seven saves while allowing one goal. Dean scored the game-winning goal and put both of her shots on goal. Ahlemeyer scored the first goal and finished with two shots. Natalia Carapazza added an assist and put one of her two shots on goal.

UP NEXT
On the other side of the bracket, two-seed Florida Gulf Coast (11-2-5) took down Jacksonville 1-0 and will host the championship match in Fort Myers. Kickoff is set for Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. EST from Pickering Field at the FGCU Soccer Complex.

Lipscomb and FGCU met in Nashville on Oct. 1 during the regular season and earned a 2-2 draw.
