women’s soccer, field hockey fall on road

The Muhlenberg women’s soccer team was tied with third-ranked Messiah with 10 minutes to play, but the Falcons put in two late goals to defeat the Mules, 3-1.

The loss ended Muhlenberg’s winning streak at six games, dating back to last year.

Messiah (6-0-1) had a 33-3 advantage in shots, but the Mules (5-1) stayed in the game thanks to the efforts of junior Kate Morrissey (right), who made a career-high 10 saves. The Falcons broke a scoreless tie with a header off a corner kick just 4:20 into the second half. Muhlenberg came back to tie the score about six minutes later when junior Christina O’Grady knocked in just the third goal allowed by Messiah this season.
