MARYVILLE, Tenn. - The Brevard College women's soccer team (1-1, 1-1 USAS) fell in a USA South Conference contest, 2-0 to Maryville College (1-0, 1-0 USAS) Wednesday night in Maryville, Tennessee.
Brevard's defense held the Scots until the 34th minute when junior Bailey Sipos opened the scoring for the Scots. The second goal came off the foot of junior forward Taylor Frizen in the 47th minute. Frizen found herself in open space who slotted it past senior goalkeeper Rebecca Rojas.
Reigning USA South Defensive Player of the Week Rojas stopped nine shots on a busy night for the Murrieta, California native, as the Scots outshot the Tornados, 25-6.
Maryville outshot the Tornados 14-3 in the second half, and earned the wealth of possession after the intermission.
Six Tornados recorded shots on the night, senior Sallie Riggan, sophomore Ashley Royster, junior Abbie Petrosky, freshmen Tae Brown and Autumn Wright, along with reigning USA South Rookie of the Week Taylor Richardson.
The Tornados return to conference play this Sunday, February 21 when they face off against the Berea College Mountaineers at 1 p.m. at Ives-Lemel Family Field.
