HU comes up short against (RV) Taylor

Huntington, Ind. – Up against the Taylor Trojans (7-3-2, 4-1), a squad receiving votes in the latest NAIA national poll, the HU women's soccer team fell victim to their guests 2-0 Saturday afternoon at King Stadium.

The Trojans got on the board ten minutes before halftime and then added an insurance goal on a corner kick with just over twenty minutes remaining. The clean sheet is TU's fifth of the season which includes a 1-0 shutout over #10 Marian earlier this month.

While the Foresters didn't get many looks over the course of the contest, their best opportunity was a blast by Sophie Shepherd at the 58:17 mark that clanked off the crossbar that would have knotted things up had it found back netting. The sophomore forward finished with three of HU's four shots on the afternoon.

Ireland Aerni was charged with the loss in goal having given up both goals while tracking down seven saves.

With this loss, Huntington drops to 5-4-4 which includes a CL record of 0-3-2. The Foresters hit the road for Mount Vernon on Wednesday with kick-off slated for 7:00 p.m.

The Huntington University Foresters compete in 18 intercollegiate sports for men and women. In the past decade, Huntington has produced 160 NAIA All-America honors and 567 All-America Scholar Athlete honors. Huntington University is a comprehensive Christian college of the liberal arts offering graduate and undergraduate programs in more than 70 academic concentrations. U.S. News & World Report ranks Huntington among the best colleges in the Midwest.
