The women’s soc­cer team had a rough road trip this past week­end as it lost to Findlay and then Tiffin.

In the first match against Findlay, the Bulldogs trailed 1–0 until fresh­man for­ward Emily Kraska tied the game with 10:35 left in the first half.

Unfortunately for Ferris though, that was the only ball that found the back of the net as they went on to even­tu­ally lose 3–1.

Freshman goal­keeper Rachel McCollum had a strong out­ing as she stopped nine out of the 12 Findlay shots on goal.

In the Tiffin match, the Lady Bulldogs were able to jump out to a 1–0 lead, but they were not able to hold on as they even­tu­ally fell in over­time, 2–1.

Freshman Hillary Braun recorded her first col­le­giate goal as she gave the Bulldogs the early 1–0 lead. It did not stand for long though as the Dragons were able to counter and tie the match only 1:47 min­utes later.

McCollum had another solid per­for­mance as she turned back 11 shots on goal.

The two losses drop Ferris’ record to 7−7−3 over­all and 7−5−2 within the conference.

The Lady Bulldogs will have a stiff test up next as they will be trav­el­ing to Grand Valley State to take on the 14−1−2 Lakers. n
