Sweet Briar soccer gave up two first half goals against the third ranked Eagles in a gritty game at Bridgewater on Saturday. Scoring the first goal for the Eagles was Morgan Keplinger who scored at the 33:39 mark. Brittany Johnson scored the second goal at the 40:08 minute mark to make the score 2-0.  The second half would go scoreless, resulting in a second half shutout by both teams.

Senior Helen Phillips (Lynchburg, Va.) and first year Caitlyn Swauger (Clemons, N.C.) had strong games controlling the center of the field while center backs Sierra Palmieri (Ft. Collins, Co.) and Kat Alexander (Asheville, N.C.) kept the defense together to limit the Eagles chances on net.

Sweet Briar soccer returns to action at home this Thursday against Roanoke college. Game time is 4:30 pm.
