Trailing 1-0 against the Bobcats, Keydet senior Maria Vargas nearly tied the score midway through the second half but her shot attempt hit the left goal post and was kicked out of bounds to end the threat.
 
Sophomore Hannah White led VMI with two shot attempts while six others had one apiece. Goalie Jillian Hall earned six saves in the loss.
 
About the Pirates (0-1-0)
 
East Carolina also started its 2021 season Thursday night and fell in overtime to Old Dominion by a close 2-1 score. In two exhibition matches, the Pirates defeated Longwood by a 2-0 score on Aug. 10 and followed it up with a 3-0 victory over UNC Wilmington on Aug. 14.
 
Against Old Dominion, the game was tied at 1-1 at the half and neither time could find the back of the net in the second half. In the OT period, ODU's Emma Gervase took a pass from Ece Turkoglu in the 96th minute and snuck it in to win the game for the Monarchs and send the Pirates back home with a loss.
 
Trailing by a 1-0 score just 39 seconds into the game, ECU's Peyton Godbey took a cross from Carsen Parker and shot it in for the equalizer at the 5:40 mark of the opening half.
 
The Keydets and Pirates have faced each other just once, with ECU earning a 3-0 win two years ago on September 8, 2019, at Patchin Field.
