SPARTANBURG , S.C. – On the strength of Elizabeth Ortstadt’s goal, the Presbyterian Lady Blue Hose defeated the USC Upstate Spartans by a score of 1-0 on Tuesday night.

Ortstadt’s goal came at the 40:51 mark on a cross from Claire Joyce.  The Spartans came close to a score in the closing minute of the match.  Freshmen Kristen Baird’s shot missed by inches to the right which would have pulled the Spartans to within even of the Blue Hose.
