Canes Defeat Bulldogs to Open 2025 Campaign

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The University of Miami soccer team opened its 2025 season Thursday night with a 1-0 win at UNC Asheville.

Miami (1-0) scored the game’s only goal in the seventh minute, when forward Moira Flynn took a feed from midfielder Ciara Alarcon and fired a left-footed shot past the goalkeeper for her first career goal.

The Canes outshot the Bulldogs (0-1) on their home turf 15-7. Goalkeepers Emily Bredek, a transfer from Old Dominion, and Atlee Olofson, a transfer from Notre Dame, combined to record a clean sheet in their first appearances for Miami.

The Canes are now 16-10-2 all-time in season openers. This was the first meeting between the schools.

Next up for the Canes is a Sunday road test at Appalachian State. Kickoff is 12 p.m. on ESPN+. This marks the first time since 2016 that Miami has opened a season with consecutive road games.
