Box Score SAVANNAH, GA.-- It was a long day and an equally long night. After some bus difficulties on the way to Savannah, the Fire played with their backs to the wall and ended up dropping a Sun Conference matchup to Savannah College of Art and Design, 3-1.
The Fire (8-4, 3-3 TSC) were out shot 27-7 for the contest; the Bees (10-3-2, 7-0 TSC) remain unbeaten in Sun Conference play.
SCAD jumped out to a three-goal lead after goals by Olivia Buechler (11'), Meadhbh Deeney (35'), and Janelle Morgan (57').
The lone goal for the Fire came in the 59th minute when
Bre Eldridge scored her seventh goal of the season.
"They were a great team, especially in moving the ball in the final third. We started to get in a rhythm and we played well in the second half in order to put one in the back of the net," said coach
Renee Lopez. "It was a great learning experience to play against the top team in our conference."
The Fire are back in action Saturday afternoon as they'll travel down to Thomasville, Georgia to take on Thomas University in another crucial Sun Conference matchup. Game time is set for 3:30 p.m.
