- The Furman women's soccer team lost 1-0 to 23rd ranked Dayton Sunday afternoon
in the final match of the Select Kickoff Classic Presented by Land Rover at
Eugene Stone Soccer Stadium.
After a scoreless first half, Daytonıs Shannon Kuhl scored the match's lone goal early in the second half at the 48:52 mark.
Furman outshot Dayton 13-11 on the afternoon, but could not find a goal after scoring 10 goals in its last two contests.
"I was not pleased with our effort today," said Furman head coach Brian Lee. "We came out here and showed little emotion, little fight, and ultimately got beat by a team that today was definitely better than us."
