@WSU_WSoccer Falls to 10th Ranked Tennessee Thursday

Knoxville, TN - The Wright State women's soccer team traveled to face the 10th ranked Tennessee Volunteers Thursday, but fell short in the match by a 2-0 final score. 

First Half
The Raiders spent much of Thursday's match in their defensive side of the field, and relied heavily on junior goalkeeper Maddie Jewell throughout the match to keep it close. Tennessee controlled the majority of play, managing 15 shots in the first half. Jewell was able to keep the Volunteers off the scoreboard until the 33rd minute, when Paige Franks stepped into a curving shot from around 20 yards out and tucked it past Jewell to open the scoring. Jewell's three first half saves kept the score 1-0 headed into the locker room. 

Second Half
The Volunteers picked up exactly where they left off in the first half, applying relentless pressure on the Wright State net. The Raiders were unable to manage any offensive pressure throughout the match, but defended well as a unit, keeping the Volunteers away from the scoring areas of the field. Tennessee added one more goal in the 70th minute when Brice McInroy slotted a bending shot from the left side inside the 18 yard box. The final shot tally ended at 29-3 in favor of the Volunteers.

Up Next
The Raiders will return home Sunday after their current three-match road trip to host Indiana State. Kick-off against the Sycamores from Alumni Field is scheduled for 1:00 pm.
