Radford, Va.  - For the second consecutive match a late goal doomed the Presbyterian College women's soccer team.  The Blue Hose allowed the 86^th minute winner against Radford to fall to 3-7 on the season and 0-2 to open the conference season.  Radford improves to 5-6 and 2-0 in league play with the win.

"I am very proud of our players today," said head coach Brian Purcell.  "I thought we played extremely well and worked very hard.   We were unfortunate not to get a win or a tie out of the match.  They are the defending Big South Conference Champions for a reason.  For us to go into their place in the second game of a road trip playing that well, it's just heartbreaking for the players not to have anything to show for it."

The game winning goal came in the 86^th minute when the PC defense conceded a penalty kick which was converted on by Justine Dugger.

Kate Baker logged the only two shots in the match for PC with one on frame. 

Abby Young started the match in goal for the Blue Hose and made one save working the first half.  Sarah Beth Anderson replaced Young after the intermission and made six more saves in the second half but allowed the goal from the penalty spot.

Corner kicks were tied 6-6 but Radford outshot the Blue Hose 11-2 in the match.

Purcell's team will return to Clinton to begin preparations for Saturday's trip to UNC Asheville.  The Blue Hose take on the Bulldogs starting at 2 p.m.
