HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker University women's soccer team came up short against the Mars Hill University Lions on Sunday (Sept. 29) by a score of 4-1.
The Lions' offensive attack controlled the first half of play, led by three goals from Sanne Martinsen as the Lions went into halftime with a 3-0 advantage.
The Cobra defense did a better job containing the Lions in the second half. However in the 79th minute, Martinsen broke free and scored her fourth goal of the match.
Despite being down 4-0, the Cobras did not give up. Just thirty seconds later, Skylar Davis escaped the Lions defense and scored her first goal of the season, assisted by Chloe Grein.
"I'm proud that we continued to fight and not give up," said coach Garrett Linquist. "Not the result we wanted but we will use this as motivation going into next week."
The Cobras will be back in action on Wednesday (Oct. 2) when they travel to Anderson, S.C. to take on the Anderson University Trojans, a South Atlantic Conference opponent. Kickoff is set for 5:00 p.m.
