HARRISONBURG, Va. – Sweet Briar soccer (1-12-0, 1-8-0 ODAC) fell to conference opponents Eastern Mennonite (1-13-3, 1-7-1 ODAC) tonight 10-1, but saw some bright spots throughout the course of the match.
 
The Royals started the first-half scoring off less than five minutes into the game and would tally four more before the end of the half.
 
Getting back into action after halftime, Eastern Mennonite increased their lead to six at the 55:01 mark. A penalty kick goal followed by an additional penalty kick tally and two more scores would put the home team up 10-0 with 16 minutes remaining.
