BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Samford soccer team scored early and pulled away late for a commanding 3-0 win over UNC Greensboro Thursday evening at Shauna Yelton Field.

"This was great, I thought we came out of the gate pretty well," Samford head coach Todd Yelton said. "Anytime you can get a goal in the first 10 minutes against a side like G, it certainly helps. I respect (UNCG Head Coach) Stefani (Workman) so much, I think she's a really fantastic coach."

With the win, Samford improved its record to 10-2-5 overall and 7-0-2 in Southern Conference play. Samford is currently tied with Furman for first place in the league standings with one regular-season match left. UNCG fell to 7-6-4 overall and 3-3-3 in SoCon action.

Brinley Murphy got the scoring started early with her goal off assists from Sam De Luca and Mamie Carman in the sixth minute for a 1-0 Samford lead. The Bulldogs took the 1-0 advantage into the locker room at halftime.

Addison Smith scored a goal in the 59^th minute off an assist from Ryann Weber to push the lead to 2-0. Annie McBride added a goal in the 71^st minute off an assist from Martha Bishop to make the final score 3-0.

Murphy led Samford with three shots in the game. Carman, McBride, Caroline Smith and Addison Smith had two shots each. Goalkeeper Peyton Hull posted her 10^th shutout of the season, saving two shots, without allowing a goal.

For UNCG, Nicole Hutchinson, Magdalena Krug and Madison Bass led the way with two shots each. Goalkeeper Blythe Clark saved four shots, while allowing three goals.
