MISHAWAKA, Ind. -- The University of Saint Francis Women's Soccer team (3-8-2, 0-4 CL) fell to the Bethel University (Ind.) Pilots (6-4-1, 2-2) 4-0 on Morey Field Saturday evening.

USF started on the backfoot in the match, trailing 1-0 3-minutes in, but fought resiliently to apply some pressure and force Bethel to resort to a different game-plan. The Cougars rocketed off 5 shots in the match coming from Carlee Biddle (2), Grace Hein, Nikki Laidley, and Kiersten Parker. Haley Roberson, Hein, Amber Morgan, and Faith Lewis all recorded 90-minutes of play in the match. 

Senior goalkeeper, Amber Morgan, faced 11 shots on frame, making 6 saves in the entirety of the match.
