@WSU_WSoccer Suffers Setback in Opening Match at Louisville

Louisville, Ky – The Wright State Raiders women's soccer team traveled to Louisville Thursday to take on the Cardinals. In the regular season opener for each team, the Raiders fell to the Cardinals 8-1.

First Half
After controlling play for the majority of the first half, the Cardinals surrendered the first goal of the game on the Raiders' first shot of the match, a blast of a free kick in the 11th minute from outside of 20 yards by Erin Graefen. The impressive strike from Graefen would be the lone highlight for the Raiders in the first half on the offensive side of the field, as Louisville was constantly on the attack throughout the first half. Emina Ekic answered back for the Cardinals just two minutes after the Raiders' opening tally, and Maisie Whitsett and Delaney Snyder each added a goal for Louisville to make the halftime score 3-1.

Second Half
As was the case in the first half, Louisville controlled the run of play in the second half. Three early goals from the Cardinals sealed the fate for the Raiders, and one final tally in the 70th minute capped the scoring for both teams in the match. The Raiders were on the short end of a final 24-3 shot advantage for Louisville, and Maddie Jewell's six saves were not enough to keep Wright State in the match.

Up Next
The Raiders return home this weekend, where they will host the Toledo Rockets for a 1:00 pm kick-off at Alumni Field to open their home portion of the 2018 schedule.
