EARLY LEAD NOT ENOUGH VS D&E

Concord's Women's Soccer team got its first goal and first lead of the season, but neither stood up in a 2-1 defeat to Davis & Elkins Wednesday afternoon at Anderson Field.

Lindsey DeVaughn pounced on a Lady Senators' turnover in their own half and found the back of the net to put the Lady Lions up 1-0 in the 7th minute.

However, just 48 seconds later, D&E took advantage of a CU misstep on defense to get the equalizer from Jael Fedora.

The score held at 1-1 until the 47th minute, when Felicia Riccelli put home an assist from Luci Legaspi to put the Lady Senators up 2-1 and ahead to stay.

Concord outshot Davis & Elkins 10-9, getting four shots from 2009 leading scorer Gemma Nortcliffe and three from DeVaughn. Nortcliffe, DeVaughn and Kelsey Ballard each had two shots on goal. The Lady Lions had a 5-3 advantage in corner kicks.

The Lady Lions fall to 0-3-0, 0-1-0 WVIAC. Concord returns to play Saturday afternoon, hosting a WVIAC matchup with Seton Hill. Kickoff is at 12:00 Noon at Anderson Field.
