Chicago, Illinois – The Albion College Britons traveled to Stuart Field where they would take advantage of two early Scarlet Hawk blunders and finish with a 4-2 victory.  It was the first loss of the season for the Scarlet Hawk women's soccer team who arrived home from New York on Monday with a 2-0 record. 

Just twelve minutes into the match, a Briton forward was played in behind the back line of the Hawks for a 1-on-1 opportunity with goalkeeper Roxanne Myers.  Myers, quick off her line, was able to force her away from goal and to the end-line.  Unfortunately, Hawk defender Sharon Wehmeyer came in with a late challenge while trying to clear the ball and the head referee decided to award a penalty shot.  Sam Larocca rolled the shot past Myers for the early 1-0 lead.  Just a little over two minutes later, Myers mishandled a routine shot off her fingertips which trickled across the goal line and gave the Britons an early 2-0 lead. 

The Scarlet Hawks would not let these two early mistakes put an end to their efforts.  They would answer quickly as Lorena Souza took a feed from Adrianna Maron into the box.  She struck a low shot which the keeper got a foot on, but as the ball popped back into the air, Souza eagerly followed her shot and headed it into the back of the net to close the lead to 2-1.  The rest of the first half was back and forth as the Britons held a 10-8 advantage in shots.  They found the net one more time with a low 20-yard strike from Domenique Sarnecky in the 35^th minute. 

Tech put the pressure on in the second half creating many chances in the attacking third.  In the 63^rd minute, Adrianna Maron struck a volley over the head of goalkeeper Maggie Troost to get the Hawks back within one goal at 3-2.  After some great efforts to find an equalizer, Albion put the finishing touch on the Hawks as Sarnecky finished off her hat trick on a header off of a corner kick in the 84^th minute. 

Albion finished the game with a 15-12 advantage in shots.  Myers made eight saves on the day for the Hawks.  Tech falls to 2-1 on the season and host St. Mary's College on Sunday afternoon.
