ATHENS, Tenn. - With three contests left on the docket in the regular season for CIU women's soccer, they hit the road for a matchup with Tennessee Wesleyan University.

They took on another one of those top teams again in the Bulldogs, who held a 9-4 overall record, 8-2 in AAC play entering Saturday's battle on the pitch. CIU held the second-highest-scoring team in the conference, scoreless in the first half, but gave up three goals in the second frame to fall on the road in Tennessee. 

Scoring Summary: 
Both teams would feel each other out in the early going, with no shot attempts until the 6' minute. Neither team would come up with scores in the first period despite the Bulldogs getting 12 shots off compared to the Ram's three. CIU keeper Julianna Bost had three saves in the first frame. 

In the second frame, the second leading goal scorer in the AAC, Krista Eik Hardardottir, found the net yet again at the 55' mark to draw first blood.
