GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG got goals from four different student-athletes and had 21 players see action as the Spartans rolled past High Point in a women's soccer exhibition on Wednesday, 4-1.

Cat Barnekow, Jessi Gulledge, Jaimey Etten and Lauren Hein scored for the Spartans, who kicked off their 2010 campaign Wednesday.

Barnekow got the scoring started in just the 10^th minute. UNCG freshman Kory Spotts – one of three freshmen in the starting lineup – corralled a failed High Point clearance and poked the ball ahead to Barnekow in the box. Barnekow easily beat High Point keeper Andrea Ritchie one-on-one to quickly put the Spartans up 1-0.

Gulledge made it a 2-0 contest in the second of three 30-minute periods, taking a short through ball from Jen Rincon at the top of the 18-yard box and dribbling in to beat Ritchie one-on-one in the 51^st minute.

Etten made it a 3-0 game in the 63^rd minute, collecting a loose ball at the top of the box and firing a rocket into the lower left corner through traffic. Her goal was unassisted.

Hein capped the UNCG scoring in the 75^th minute, nodding home freshman Stine Schoening's long cross to make it 4-0.

The Panthers got a goal back in the 87^th minute, as Kelli Joline converted Cary Ann Parrish's long free kick to spoil UNCG's shutout. Parrish lofted a beautiful ball into the box from about 35 yards out, and Joline one-timed it past UNCG keeper Kelsey Kearney from close range.

Both sides substituted liberally in the contest, as High Point had 23 players see action.

UNCG outshot the Panthers 15-5, with Jenn Partenheimer, Tabitha Padgett, Hein, Spotts and freshman Kaytee O'Brien taking two each. Joline led HPU with three shots.

Alex Perry picked up the win in the net for UNCG, as she worked the first 40:09, making one save. She stopped Sammy Vercellino's close-range attempt at the post in the 36^th minute.

Kearney worked the final 49:51, allowing a goal and making a save of her own.

Ritchie took the loss in goal for the Panthers, as she allowed two goals and didn't make a save in 60 minutes of work. Jesse May came on for the final period, making a pair of saves and allowing two goals in 30 minutes.

The margin could have been bigger, but UNCG had two shots find the post. O'Brien's first shot drew iron in the 44^th minute, while Padgett hit the post in the 79^th.

Spotts, Schoening and Morgan Kennedy were the three freshmen that started, with all of them playing prominent roles in UNCG's revamped defense.

UNCG returns to action on Saturday, Aug. 14, when it will host Duke in an exhibition match at 7 p.m. That will be the Spartans' final exhibition before opening the 2010 regular season against East Carolina at home on Friday, Aug. 20.
