HOW IT HAPPENED
- Following a score in the 40th minute, the Colonels took a 1-0 lead into the intermission.
- After a red card was handed out, Centre connected on a penalty kick to take a 2-0 lead in the 48th minute.
- Junior forward
Hagan Griffith recorded the lone shot of the day for the home team while Centre managed 23 of them.
- Following the penalty kick, sophomore
Anna Claire Lewis carded over 42 minutes of shutout soccer for the Warriors.
WHAT WAS SAID
"I was very proud of how the girls worked today," said Coach
Jeff Trimble. "It's not the result we wanted but I felt like we kept playing the entire game. It was hard playing a half with a player down. Lewis came in and did a great job and did good for us in the second half. We will learn from this and get better for our next game against ETBU on Tuesday."
UP NEXT
After playing against two SAA teams this weekend, Hendrix gets ready to battle a non-SAA team when East Texas Baptist University comes to Conway Tuesday. The Warriors are set to begin play at 6 p.m.
