Women's Soccer Fall to No. 16 Knights in Ranked Matchup

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - - The Cumberland women's soccer dropped their first game of the season in a tight loss to No. 16 Marian University.

The Phoenix found themselves in unfamiliar territory early on in this game as the Knights kept Cumberland in their half, possessing much of the ball. Although neither team managed many true chances on goal, it was a physical half of soccer with 14 combined fouls and two yellow cards.

After 20 minutes of play the Phoenix finally took their first shot of the half in the half, putting a pair of shots on goal in back-to-back minutes. Both attempts were saved and despite the offense looking promising, the Knights adjusted and did not allow another attempt on goal for the rest of the half.

Cumberland looked just as strong on the defensive end however, allowing just one shot on goal themselves. By the time that 45 minutes had left the clock the game was at a standstill, 0-0.

Marian came out swinging in the second half, putting Cumberland back on their heels like they did to start the game. Hannah Thornell was forced to make several saves and the Knights scored from a corner but it was called back due to a foul on the goalkeeper.

The home side found the first breakthrough of the game in the 65th minute, playing a ball down the right wing and putting it in the back of the net to go ahead by one score. Just three minutes later they found their second goal of the game and it cemented what would be the Phoenix's first loss of the season.

CU actually managed more shots than the Knights in the matchup, but the clinical Phoenix attack were unable to find the elusive first goal they were looking for, falling 2-0.

Cumberland will return to Indiana to take on IUPUC this coming Tuesday, with kickoff scheduled for 3:00 PM.
