Box Score

Dayton, Ohio - Furman's Andre'a Morrison found the back of the net just 24 seconds before halftime and senior goalkeeper Andie Hinshaw totaled eight saves to lead the Lady Paladins to a 1-0 victory over 10th-ranked Ohio State in women's soccer action Sunday at the Nike/Dayton Flyer Invitational in Dayton, Ohio.

Morrison, a native of Kernersville, N.C., chased down a pass from Erin Sanders and beat Dayton keeper Stacy Sinkway with a sliding shot at the 44:36 mark to notch the lone goal of the match. The goal was the fourth of the season for the Lady Paladins' senior forward.

Furman's shutout, which marked Ohio State's first loss of the season, was Hinshaw's second of the year and 27th of her career. The Raleigh, N.C., product recorded two stops in the final 20 seconds of regulation to preserve the victory.

Furman held an 18-17 edge in shots attempted and 9-5 advantage in corner kicks over the nationally-ranked Buckeyes. Morrison directed four shots on goal while sophomore Gena Villari tested Sinkway and the Ohio State defense three times.

The win improves Furman to 2-2-0 on the season while the Buckeyes fall to 2-1-1.

Furman returns to action Friday when it faces the Charlotte 49ers in the opening game of the Carolinas Cup in Clemson, S.C, at Historic Riggs Field. Kickoff is set for 5:00p.m.
