MARSHALL, Texas - After a 2-0 start, the Belhaven Women's Soccer team dropped their first match of the season after falling on the road at ETBU by a 2-1 final score.
The Blazers and Tigers were deadlocked in the first half with neither side scoring a goal in the opening 45 minutes. In the first half, ETBU outshot the Blazers 9-4 but strong goalkeeping by
Lauren Knorr kept the teams scoreless.
The match opened up in the second half and the hosts opened the scoring in the 50' when Amy Pineda notched her third goal of the season.
The Blazers were able to strike back in the 68' on a
Jackie Therrien that saw freshman open up her Belhaven goal-scoring account.
Kyla Shaw provided the assist, her third of the season, bringing the Hoover, Alabama native to five goal contributions on the year.
The Tigers would come out on top though as Brianna Mickshaw tallied her second goal of the season in the 81' and gave ETBU the 2-1 victory.
With the win, ETBU improves to 5-0 on the season and 3-0 in ASC play. The Blazers drop to 2-1 on the season with an identical record against conference opponents.
Belhaven returns to the pitch next weekend to host Louisiana College inside Belhaven Bowl Stadium. The match is slated to begin at 5 PM.
