Florence, S.C. - Presbyterian College women's soccer saw its two match winning streak snapped on Sunday afternoon in a 1-0 loss to Francis Marion.  The Blue Hose fall to 2-4 on the season while the Patriots improve to 1-6 on the season.

"We didn't finish our opportunities today," said head coach Brian Purcell.  "Francis Marion had far fewer quality chances but they either scored or forced great saves each time.  We only forced their keeper to make one quality save at the very end  and that ended up being the difference"

The Patriots took the lead at the halftime horn as Kelly Kady buried a shot from 15 yards at the buzzer.  The service from the right wing set up the shot to give FMU what would ultimately prove to be the winning goal.

PC led in all major statistical categories other than the one that mattered most.  The Blue Hose posted 13 shots, five on goal to the Patriots' totals of ten shots and four on frame.  The visitors earned five corners while only conceding three.

Tricia Bryan recorded four shots, two on goal to pace the Blue Hose.  Bryan also posted PC's final scoring opportunity with one second remaining on the clock as her shot from in the box forced the FMU keeper to make her toughest save of the match.  The save sealed PC's goalless match of the season.

It was a disciplined day as far as fouls were concerned for PC as the Blue Hose committed 11 infractions and only two in the final half.  Purcell's troops drew 18 whistles and ten over the final period.

Abby Young started the match for PC and allowed the match's only goal in her 45 minutes of work.  Sarah Beth Anderson replaced Young in the second half and made three saves over the final 45 minutes.

The Blue Hose return home on Thursday night to face Wofford starting at 7 p.m.
