DELAWARE, Ohio – The Ohio Wesleyan University women's soccer team (3-4-4, 0-0-0 NCAC) concluded non-conference play on Tuesday night with a familiar foe, going up against Capital (7-2-0, 0-0-0 OAC) at home. Despite an even first half, three second half concessions would spell defeat for the Battling Bishops, falling to the Comets 3-0.
The first 45 minutes was fairly even with six shots by the Bishops and seven shots for CU. All efforts came up empty, leading to a 0-0 split at the break.
Capital started putting on more pressure in the second half and eventually broke through with three goals in the span of 19 minutes. The Comets utilized their counterattack to score on the break in the 65th, 76th, and 83rd minutes.
Despite some late chances, the Red and Black were unable to erase the zero on the scoreboard, ending in a 3-0 final.
