Leopards Fall to Regals

Leopards Fall to Regals

The University of La Verne women's soccer team had a two-game win streak snapped by the Cal Lutheran Regals Wednesday afternoon in a 2-1 loss at Ben Hines Field.

The Leopards took five shots compared to eight from the Cal Lutheran, but both teams struggled to get on the board. A scoreless first half was finally snapped when CLU forward Mayra Virgen found the back of the net with just 49 seconds left before halftime, and the Leopards would trail 1-0 after the first period.

Determined to build on their lead in the second half, the Regals came out firing, taking twice as many shots then the Leopards. But it was Falisha Ramirez who would score a goal off an assist from Ashley Vanga to knot the game at a goal apiece. However, Virgen would put the Regals back on top in the 70th minute. Despite a strong offensive push in the final minutes, the Leopards would fall in a 2-1 outcome.

La Verne will travel to Redlands to take on the Bulldogs for one of the final games of the season. Last time the two teams faced off, Redlands took a 2-0 victory at Ben Hines Field. The match will begin at 11 am.
