The Lady Buffs found themselves playing without much heart and effort on Wednesday night. Union College handed the Lady Buffs soccer team a 1-0 loss .
“We just didn’t work hard enough and didn’t want it bad enough,” said junior
Tanya Rupert.
Junior Katie Lindemann said the team came out slow in the beginning, resulting
in Union’s only goal of the match to be scored in the first half.
“We didn’t play up to our potential,” Lindemann said. She said the team came
back out in the second half and played harder, but couldn’t score on the
opportunities that were made.
“Everyone was playing a lot harder (in the second half), defending and
offending,” Lindemann said. “It’s a shame that we couldn’t put one up.”
David Dixon, head coach for women’s soccer, said that the team didn’t play very
well.
“We lacked a passion and enthusiasm. We need to find that passion,” Dixon said
of the team’s performance Wednesday night and what he looks to improve for the
upcoming games.
With the loss, the team’s overall record fell to 8-8-1, and the conference
record dropped to 4-3-1.
“We definitely are looking forward to ending the season on a good note and
starting the playoffs on a good note,” Lindemann said of the upcoming game this
weekend.
The Lady Buffs will play at home on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. against
Cumberland University
