GREENEVILLE, Tenn.- The Coker University women's soccer team fell in a hard-fought contest at Tusculum on Sunday (Oct. 27) by a score of 2-1.

At the halfway mark of the first half, Tusculum's Kenzie Ellenburg found the back of the net giving the Pioneers their first lead of the game. It was just 10 minutes later in the 34th minute of play when Coker's Farrah Brown scored her first goal on a penalty kick to tie the game at 1-1. 

The Cobras came out fighting in the second half in an attempt to gain the lead. In the 64th minute of play, Tusculum converted a penalty kick to take a 2-1 lead.

"I'm super proud of the effort today by the girls," said head coach Garrett Linquist. "It was really a back and forth game and we played really well for stretches today. Unfortunately, it just didn't bounce our way, but we continue to show how much progress we have made as a program each time out. We'll look to regroup and bounce back on Halloween against Converse."

Both Brown and Ava Kieser had one shot on goal, while freshman Sarah Swaim had 15 saves.

Coker will be back in action when they face off against Converse on Thursday (Oct. 31) for a non-conference matchup. Kick off time is slated for 7:00 p.m.
