Box Score BALTIMORE, MD – The UMBC women's soccer team fell to the High Point Panthers, 1-0, in a game that was delayed forty minutes due to lightning in the area.
 
The visitors threatened the entire game and finally broke through on a penalty kick in the 60^th minute for the lone score of the evening.
 
Junior forward Lilly Neubauer was taken down in the box by Retriever sophomore back Ava Schreiber to set up the game-winner.  Senior midfielder Fain Buete then calmly stepped up to the line and beat UMBC junior goalkeeper Abbey Cowles with a low shot into the left-corner of the net.
 
Cowles kept the Retrievers in the game all night as she tied her season-high (Drexel) with nine saves, including a diving stop to thwart graduate forward Tessa Carlin with 17:10 left in the opening half.
 
UMBC (2-5-0) had the first quality chance of the evening just 3:45 into the match as freshman defender Reagan Casper sent a dangerous cross into the box for forward Meghan McKye. McKye put a header on target, but High Point keeper Eilyn Casper made a diving save to prevent the marker.
 
The Retrievers nearly stunned the visitors with just 12 ticks left in the opening half when junior back Lauren Reid sent a 35-yard blast towards the top of the goal, however, Casper (5 saves) got just enough of the ball to re-direct the attempt off the center of the crossbar.
 
The Dawgs had one final opportunity with 7:25 remaining in the game as senior forward Natasha Munro drilled a 30-yard attempt just over the crossbar.
 
High Point (2-2-3) attempted 24 shots and held the hosts to just six opportunities.
 
UMBC will host Navy on Sunday at 12:00 p.m.
