Box Score

HIRAM, Ohio (Sept. 8) – The Waynesburg University women's soccer team lost for the first time in 2012 on Saturday afternoon after Hiram was sparked by two second-half goals in a 2-0 victory at the Hiram College soccer complex. Waynesburg's record drops to 3-1 while Hiram ups its record to 2-3.
 
The story of the early season for the Yellow Jackets had been its quick strike offense that has led them to score 12 goals in the first three contests coming into Saturday. However, the Jacket offense couldn't get going on Saturday as they attempted just four shots and put one of them on goal.
 
Both teams went scoreless until the 59^th minute of play when Samantha Zuponic scored unassisted to put the Terriers up 1-0. Six minutes later, Hiram found the back of the net again when Ernestina Zappa scored off a pass from Megan Verel to make it 2-0.
 
That was all Hiram goalkeeper Kate Valatis needed as she earned her first victory of the season, improving her record to 1-2. Valatis made just one save in the 90 minutes of action. Sophomore Emily Mullady registered the only shot on goal for the Jackets.
 
The Jackets are back in action on Sept. 12 when they travel to New Concord, Ohio, to face Muskingum. Match time is set for 7:30 p.m.
