CLINTON, S.C. – The Presbyterian College women's soccer team played under the lights at Edens Field at Martin Stadium for the first time this fall as the Blue Hose hosted East Tennessee State in an exhibition match on Tuesday night, falling to the Buccaneers by a 2-0 margin.

The teams played three 30-minute periods and the Blue Hose put the pressure on early, as Lauren Snyder (North Augusta, S.C.) fired a shot on goal but could not convert.

The first 30 minutes passed with no score thanks to several sterling saves from goalkeeper Sarah Beth Anderson (Grayson, Ga.). Anderson made two diving stops on quick, hard shots from Kayla White and Genna Petersen midway through the frame. The senior co-captain played the first two periods and made three saves before Jordan Broadway (Chapin, S.C.) entered and tallied two saves in a scoreless final 30 minutes.

ETSU found the net twice shortly after the first break, scoring twice in as many minutes. Jenna Caudle sent a high shot into the top right corner from close range in the 39^th minute and Taylor Maxson added another in the 41^st, lifting a ball over a charging Anderson.

Returning players provided an experienced touch on the pitch, making up nine of the starting 11. Morgan Fragapane (Baltimore, Md.) headed a slick through pass in the third period that nearly led to a scoring chance in front of the net and co-captain Jessica Kramer (Acworth, Ga.) held steady on the back line.

The Blue Hose played 20 players on the evening, including eight newcomers. Freshman Kelly Kozera (Rome, Ga.) tallied three shots against the Buccaneers and fellow newcomer Christy Schofer (Powder Springs, Ga.) attempted to narrow the gap late in the match with a shot on net.

PC's defense allowed only one corner kick on the evening and held the visitors to two shots on goal in the final 50 minutes.

The Blue Hose resume practice before opening the season on the road against Furman on Friday, August 26 at 7 p.m. PC opens its home slate on Sunday, August 28, against Clemson at 2 p.m.
