SWEET BRIAR, Va. – The Sweet Briar College soccer team (0-2-0) was bested by the Division II Virginia State University Trojans (1-1-0, 0-0-0 CIAA) today at Meyer Field by a score of 4-0.

Shots by Diaz and junior
Natalie Cockey (Oxford, Md.) would once again be followed up by a successful conversion from Virginia State to go up by three goals.
