BOCA RATON, Fla. — The University of Tampa women's soccer team earned a key Sunshine State Conference road victory with a 2–1 win over Lynn on Saturday evening at Bobby Campbell Stadium.
The Spartans controlled possession throughout the match, outshooting the Fighting Knights 24–6 and generating 11 shots on goal. Tampa opened the scoring late in the first half when Brielle Johnston found the back of the net in the 43rd minute with a strike from just outside the box that curled into the top-left corner. The goal was set up by Sydni Dennis and Zoe Whiddon.
Tampa extended its lead early in the second half when Dennis converted a penalty kick in the 59th minute, slotting the ball into the left side of the goal for what proved to be the game-winning tally.
