LEXINGTON, KY ? For the second straight match the Kentucky women?s soccer team (6-6-2, 0-6-0) outplayed its opponent offensively but had nothing to show for it as they dropped a 1-0 affair to the 18th ranked Georgia Bulldogs.

Despite dominating the Bulldogs (12-1-1, 5-0-1) offensively throughout the entire 90 minutes, the Wildcats were unable to notch a goal for the fourth straight match. UK out shot Georgia 16-10 (9-5 in the first half) including a 5-4 shot on goal discrepancy. The Bulldogs were also whistled for 15 fouls, to UK?s nine, giving the Cats several opportunities off set pieces, but still Kentucky came away empty handed.

?For the second straight match, I thought we outplayed our opponent but we just didn?t finish,? said head coach Warren Lipka. ?We gave up a bad goal and you can?t do that against a Top 20 team. Now we just have to keep fighting and look towards the next match against Arkansas.?

In the 10th minute, UK goalie Sydney Hiance misplayed a ball right in front of the Wildcat goal, trying to clear the ball. However, the ball deflected off Georgia?s Carrie Patterson who then poked it into an empty net for the early Bulldog lead.

Kentucky had its best opportunity to even the score in the 72nd minute off a corner kick from Tara Herold. Herold sent the ball perfectly into the box where Kate Hughes got a solid head on the ball but bounced it off the crossbar. Kelly Miller got a shot off in the ensuing scrum in front of the goal, but it was blocked by a Georgia defender.

The Wildcats return to action on Friday, October 19 when they host the Arkansas Lady Razorbacks. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Friday is Kick for the Cure and all proceeds will benefit breast cancer treatment and research at Markey Cancer Center.
