After entering as a substitute in the 30th minute, Rojas broke the scoreless tie in the 38th minute, finishing a setup from <a href=\"https:\/\/uahchargers.com\/sports\/womens-soccer\/roster\/cara-tortelli\/7057\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7057\" target=\"_blank\">Cara Tortelli<\/a> to give the Chargers a 1-0 lead heading into halftime.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Spartans increased the pressure after the break, putting four of their five second-half shots on goal. Szopa answered every challenge, making saves in the 52nd, 56th, 63rd and 69th minutes as UAH protected its one-goal advantage. The Chargers still generated chances of their own, including a late effort from <a href=\"https:\/\/uahchargers.com\/sports\/womens-soccer\/roster\/kaitlyn-lewis\/7059\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7059\" target=\"_blank\">Kaitlyn Lewis<\/a> that forced a Tampa save in the 88th minute.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Szopa finished with five saves to record her second clean sheet of the season. Tampa held a 12-9 advantage in total shots and put five attempts on target compared to three for UAH, but the Chargers&#8217; defense made Rojas&#8217; first-half goal stand for the full 90 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">UAH returns to action Saturday morning with another road test, facing Embry-Riddle at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: at Embry-Riddle 9\/5\/2026 | 11 a.m. &#13; Sep. 05 (Sat) \/ 11 a.m.&#13;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389914,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-389913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
