SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Outpacing their opponents in shots taken wasn't enough for the Converse University women's soccer team's (8-5-3, 6-2-3 Conference Carolinas) as the Valkyries fell to the northwest-division-champion Lees-McRae Bobcats (9-2-3, 8-0-3 Conference Carolinas) by a final score of 1-0.

The Valkyries and Bobcats were deadlocked at 0-0 until a 37th minute penalty was converted into the game's opening score from Lees-McRae. Converse had a pair of chances inside of the final minute of the first half, but were unable to find the back of the net in the opening 45 minutes.

Converse edged a one-shot advantage in the first half, 6-5, and were even with the Bobcats on shots on goal, three each.

The second half saw the Valkyries attempt a late comeback push, but it fell unsuccessful as Lees-McRae captured the game 1

The Valkyries return to the pitch one final time in the 2024 regular season as they head to Tigerville to take on the North Greenville Trailblazers on Monday, Nov. 4. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 P.M.
