Keydets Fall by 4-2 Score to Wofford

Box Score

LEXINGTON, Va. – Despite two goals in the first half by junior forward Whitney Edwards-Roberson, the VMI women's soccer team fell by a 4-2 score in a Southern Conference matchup with Wofford Sunday afternoon at Patchin Field.
 
The Keydets (1-3-2, 0-3-1) had opportunities early in the match but it was the Terriers who struck first with an unassisted goal by Mia Bookhard. Moments later, junior Sarah Anschutz connected a pass to Edwards-Roberson for VMI's first goal of the game at the 20:19 mark.
 
The Terriers (2-1-1, 2-1-1 SoCon) answered less than a minute later with Bookhard's second goal of the game with a quick pass from Rachel Rasins to go up, 2-1.
The Keydets responded quickly again when Edwards-Roberson used fancy footwork to get around the Wofford defender and she snuck her second goal into the upper left corner to knot the game at 2-2 at the half.
 
The second half started quick with a shot by Edwards-Roberson requiring a save by Wofford goalie Maria Mon. On the other end of the pitch, a free kick from Wofford's Paige Miller set up a header by Bookhard that found the back of the net as Bookhard registered a hat trick for the game. The Terriers added an insurance goal when midfielder Miera Kelly scored at the 67:42 mark for the game's final tally of 4-2.
 
Senior goalie Sidney Swoope had five saves on the game, with Mon tallying five as well. The Keydets had the shot advantage, 14-13, while the Terriers had a slight 2-1 edge in corner kicks.
 
The Keydets will be on the road as they face The Citadel on Friday, March 19 at 3 p.m in Charleston, South Carolina.
