Lady Bucs Score First, But Fall To Bethel, 3-1

Box Score

Memphis, TN – The Christian Brothers University Lady Buccaneer soccer team got on the board first, but three unanswered goals from visiting Bethel College lifted the Lady Wildcats over CBU, 3-1 in action at Signaigo Field.

CBU (0-2-1) scored first 13 minutes into the second half when Ciara McGuiness connected on a penalty kick after a Bethel player was caused for a handball in the box.

BC( 1-0) came into the game ranked No. 9 nationally in the NAIA. Both teams remained scoreless at the half, but two goals from Bethel's Candice Cunningham and another from Leah O'Grady gave Bethel its first win of the year.

CBU out shot Bethel 9-8 in the game but got just one shot on goal. McGuiness led the offensive attack for the Lady Bucs with five shots. Rachael Valenzuela had three shots, while Helen Goodacre added another.

The Lady Bucs were scheduled to play a match at William Carey College in Hattiesburg, MS, but due to the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, that match has been cancelled. The next match for CBU will be next Sunday, September 11 when the Lady Bucs play host to Tusculum at 1 p.m.
