Box Score

PEPPER PIKE, Ohio  – A goal by Sarah Holmes in the 40th minute pushed visiting Alderson-Broaddus College past Ursuline College, 1-0, in what was the final tune-up before the Arrows begin Great Midwest Athletic Conference play on Saturday (Oct. 6).

With the loss, the Arrows dip to 4-3 overall while the Battlers improved to 6-3-1.

Holmes goal was unassisted and came on a Battler throw in. After a player from each club attempted to head a loose ball, Holmes came away with it and beat Ursuline senior goalkeeper Rachael Smith from left of the goal.

The Arrows had a chance with eight minutes left in the second half but a Battler defender got in front of a shot on goal for a team save after goalie Kate Laird fell to the ground.

Alderson-Broaddus outshot Ursuline, 12-10. The Battlers put a total of five shots on goal, three of which were saved by Smith in addition to a team save.

Ursuline is back in action on Saturday when the club travels to Cedarville University to take on the Yellow Jackets. The match – which begins at 1:00 p.m. – will be covered with free live video and free live stats.
