The St. Gregory's University women's soccer team dug an early hole and couldn't recover Friday, falling 4-1 to Mid-America Christian University at Fr. Victor Roberts Field. The Evangels struck three times in the game's first 38 minutes and outshot the home team 10-2 in the first half.

The second half was more evenly contested with the visitors holding a 9-5 advantage on shots. MACU (7-6, 2-2 SAC) increased its advantage to 4-0 in the 65th minute on a Chelsea Swisher goal. The Cavaliers responded with 10 seconds remaining in the game on an unassisted goal by Criscela Hernandez.

SGU's Jennifer Alesch led her team with three shots, including two on goal. Cavalier keeper Jennifer Taber had four saves.

SGU returns to action Wednesday at John Brown University. That game is scheduled for 1 p.m.
