Soccer Falls to Judson College

The Wesleyan College soccer team had difficulty finding a rhythm on offense on Saturday afternoon, losing their match against Judson College 2-0.

Currently ranked fourth in the USCAA, Judson (4-3-2) fired 28 shots against the Pioneer defense.  Christina Carter scored a goal in each half to spark the Eagles offense.  Wesleyan's Emily Epperson added 14 more saves to her career total.

Wesleyan (0-4-1) was only able to manage three shots on offense in a game where the Pioneers seemed out of sync according to Wesleyan coach Michael Spivey.  "I think we beat ourselves today because we played very poorly.  We were able to string together 5-10 minutes of good play, but we could not sustain our positive play for any length of time."

The Pioneers return to the pitch on Thursday, September 30 when they open Great South Athletic Conference play against Piedmont College.  Kickoff is at 7:00pm at the Mathews Athletic Complex on the campus of Wesleyan College.
