The Marist College women's soccer team lost a close match at home against the Maine Black Bears, 2-1, Sunday afternoon.

The Red Foxes controlled play in the first half, out-shooting the Black Bears 5-3, and locked in with some defensive pressure, but could not hold off Maine's second-half charge.

The strong defensive effort in the first half by the Red Foxes could not keep Maine from scoring as Marie-Andree Canuel netted a goal with 15:00 remaining in the half.

The scoring resumed five minutes into the second half as Marist sophomore Deidre Murray scored and was assisted by Kristina Anderson and Kristen Leonhard. Murray's goal knotted the game at 1-1.

The final goal came at 62:36 in the second half as Maine's Erin Corey scored on a breakaway sealing the victory for the Black Bears. Maine righted the ship offensively in the second half, out-shooting the Red Foxes by a 7-2 margin.

Marist goalkeeper Danielle Cibelli had five saves for the Red Foxes who drop to 1-7 on the season. Maine improves its record to 5-2-1.

The Red Foxes hits the field again Friday, Sept. 24 against Delaware State at home.
