HARTSVILLE, S.C. - The Coker University women's soccer team fell in South Atlantic Conference action to Lenoir-Rhyne University Wednesday (Sept. 29) 5-1.
The Cobras conceded an early goal before stepping up their defense and holding the Bears scoreless for the rest of the first half. Just before halftime, a long ball into the Lenoir-Rhyne penalty area was misplayed by the Bear defenders and freshman Lexi Lilly pounced on the opportunity to level the score at one. The goal was the first in Lilly's collegiate career.
The Bears came out of the halftime break and were able to score four times against the Cobras defense. Junior goalkeeper Sarah Swaim put in a solid shift in goal, racking up 12 saves on the day. Lilly led the Cobras with two shots, and was supported by Alexandra Brown and Adriana Berrutti, who had one shot each.
The Cobras will be back in action this Saturday (Oct. 2) when they travel to Salisbury, N.C. to face SAC opponent No. 19 Catawba. Coverage can be found at www.cokercobras.com.
