BIRMINGHAM — The North Texas soccer team lost 2-1 Friday night at UAB.
The Mean Green (7-4-3, 2-3-1) scored early with a ninth-minute goal by newcomer Jenna Sheely but couldn't muster much more offense as they put just two more shots on goal over the final 81 minutes.
UNT led at the half but two second half goals by the Blazers (4-8-2, 3-3-0) were the difference as they handed the Mean Green their third conference loss, which is the most they've had since 2013.
"I really liked the way we started the game with the early goal by Jenna and having the halftime lead," said head coach John Hedlund. "Unfortunately my starters ran out of gas late in the second half and we just didn't have the depth tonight especially leaving three quality players at home due to illness. We will regroup and get ready for our next game."
North Texas stays on the road but has a week off before they take on Louisiana Tech in Ruston, LA next Friday.
