Soccer Bested By No. 8 Lenoir-Rhyne

PEMBROKE – Mercy Bell's goal in the 47th minute cut the deficit in half, but 8th-ranked Lenoir-Rhyne tacked on two more goals of its own to pull away and secure a 4-1 victory on Sunday afternoon at LREMC Stadium.

The Braves (0-2-0) fell to 9-7-2 in the all-time series against the Bears (1-0-0), but have now dropped three of the last four meetings in the series.
 
SCORING SUMMARY
19' Lenoir-Rhyne's Evan O'Leary made a move to get free outside the penalty area and sent a perfect cross to the head of Emerson Talley, who found the back of the net to put the Bears out to an early lead.
40' LR's Aly Ramsey took control of the ball 35 yards out, dribbled to the right side of the penalty box, and lofted a well-placed shot into the back of the net to stretch the lead to 2-0.
47' Anna Grossheim delivered a perfect free kick service to the foot of Mercy Bell, who fired a left-footed strike past the LR goalkeeper to cut the lead to 2-1.
49' The Bears answered right back as Nicole Auger's shot struck the crossbar and deflected to the foot of Talley, who found the back of the net for her second goal of the day.
85' Lenoir-Rhyne struck for the final time as O'Leary added her second assist of the day on a service to Auger, who headed it home to make it 4-1.
