The Elizabethtown College women’s soccer team had a hard week as they suffered losses to both Moravian College Wednesday, Oct. 10 and the University of Scranton Saturday, Oct. 13.

The Blue Jays lost to Moravian 2-1, fighting hard until the last minute. Moravian scored both its goals in the first half of the game, first by a one timer off a pass into the back of the net, and second hit into the net off of a rebound.

The Blue Jays did have a chance to score in the first half, but their shot was blocked by a Moravian defender. Etown did not score until the second half of the game with about a minute left, via a pass into the back of the net. The goal was assisted by juniors Lydia Lawson and Madison Burnham and scored by sophomore Janelle Barna, who scored last year’s game-winning goal against Moravian. Both teams had a total of 10 goals, five corners and one offside.

Their game against Scranton ended in a loss of 0-3, the same score that knocked them out of the conference playoffs last year. Scranton had a total of 22 shots, 13 of which were on goal.

Sophomore goalkeeper Christine Fox made one of her career-high 10 saves in the ninth minute of the game. The three goals were all scored off the cross via a header, a tap and one knocked in from the left.

Etown’s team ended with 10 shots, four of which were on goal and with two corners, two offsides, and seven fouls. The Scranton team had 10 corners, no offsides and six fouls.

The women’s team record now stands at four wins, seven losses and two ties. Their next game is over Homecoming weekend against Goucher College at home on the Ira R. Herr Field at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20.
