WAYNESBURG, Pa. (Oct. 7) – After falling behind early in the second half, the Waynesburg women's soccer team battled hard down the stretch, but couldn't complete a furious comeback attempt and fell to Saint Vincent 2-1 on a frigid Wednesday night.

With time winding down, Waynesburg (3-7) cranked up the pressure and went on the attack. The home team finally struck pay dirt when sophomore Melody Cox recorded her first goal of the season with 6:46 to go in the contest.

Sophomore keeper Katrina Kelly started and played all 90 minutes for Waynesburg. She piled up 13 saves on the night. Saint Vincent's Kirstie Mills stopped five shots on goal to get the win.
