Mounties drop tight battle to Sea-Hawks

(SACKVILLE, NB) Coming off an exciting 1-1 draw with the Université de Moncton on Friday evening, the Mounties women's soccer team took the field on a beautiful afternoon in Sackville in a game against the visiting Memorial Sea-Hawks.

Both teams traded soft chances in the first half before Zoë Rowe (CBS, NL) broke open the scoring for Memorial in the 35^th minute off a cross from Claire Langille (Fall River, NS). The teams went into the break with Memorial leading on the road 1-0.

The 2^nd half started much like the first with both teams trying to control the midfield, before Zoë Rowe once again found the back of the net for the Sea-Hawks in the 81^st minute, taking advantage of an opportunity created by a deflection. Now down by two, the Mounties were quick to respond with a goal of their own in the 84^th minute off the head of centre back Maeve Williams (Bedford, NS) from a well taken corner by Kathryn Perry (Riverview, NB).

A valiant effort in the final 10 minutes was not enough as the Mounties dropped the match 2-1.
