The Faith women's soccer team traveled to Eureka, IL this past Friday to take on NCAA III opponent Eureka College. Faith came up short, falling 1-3 to the host. Faith is now 1-3-0 on the year.
The Red Devils came out firing shots right from the start of the game and managed to outshoot the Lady Eagles 16-2 in the first half. The Eagles were able to create a few chances in the first half but failed to capitalize on either of their attempts. Eureka continued to press and were able to keep possession for a majority of the first half. Eureka's first goal of the match came at the 38 minute mark in the first half. Eureka would extend their lead to 2-0 right before the halftime horn sounded.
The second half was a different story as the Eagles defense woke up. The Eagles allowed only nine shots in the entire second half while creating a few more chances for themselves. Eureka would score again three minutes into the second half to extend their lead to 3-0. Holly Shepard would put one away for the Lady Eagles on a nice solo effort in the 70th minute. Faith's next match comes Tuesday, September 15th vs. Lincoln Christian in Lincoln, IL.
