Keydets fall in close 3-2 battle at Navy

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Despite scoring first and going into halftime tied up at 1-1, the VMI women's soccer team fell by a 3-2 score to host Navy Sunday afternoon at Glenn Warner Soccer Facility in Annapolis, Maryland.
 
VMI junior Riley Boucher struck first in the 24th minute (23:53) when she played a loose ball and snuck behind the Navy defense to strike the ball into the lower right corner of the net for the first goal of the game. The Sicklerville, New Jersey, native scored for the fourth consecutive game and now has four on the season to lead the Keydets.
 
 
Game Summary
*Navy's Lauren Toms equalized moments later in the 32nd minute (31:00) off a header from a corner kick as the teams went into halftime tied at 1-1
*Marlee Heaven of Navy put the Mids ahead 2-1 as she got behind the VMI defense and snuck the ball past keeper Whitney Tracy into the lower right corner
*Heaven would go on to convert a penalty kick late in regulation (81:51) to put Navy up, 3-1, with under 10 minutes remaining
*VMI forward Isabella Bruzonic scored her first goal of the year off a header from a corner kick by teammate Cadee Hegarty to trim the deficit to 3-2, the match's final tally
 
VMI Head Coach Chris Haught-Thompson
"We battled hard. We set out to compete first and let everything else come, and I thought they did that well. Navy is a solid team and thought we made it hard for them, and scored two good goals that made the game close until the end."
