LANGLEY, B.C. – Trinity Western's women's soccer team lost 4-1 to Seattle Pacific on Tuesday, seeing their preseason record fall to 1-2-2.

AS IT HAPPENED 
The Spartans were unable to come back after surrendering a goal in the seventh minute of the game. After Seattle Pacific managed to go up 4-0 the Spartans started to attack in threatening fashion, amassing a series of solid chances. Trinity Western's lone goal was converted by Anna Dunn (Edmonton), who neatly tucked the ball into the top-left corner off a pass received just inside the 18-yard box.

QUOTABLE
TWU Head Coach Graham Roxburgh
"It was disappointing to give up some needless goals but I was encouraged with the team's persistence. Going down 4-0 would cause a lot of teams to pack it in, but we didn't. The last 35 minutes of the game showed us that this team is willing to overcome the challenges we may face in the middle of the game. At the end of the day, we need to eradicate mistakes from our game to stop playing catch-up."
