BLUFFTON, Ohio – The Bluffton University women’s soccer team came up just short in a 2-1 loss to St. Mary’s on a rainy Monday. The Beavers dipped to 2-4 on the season, while SMC improved to 6-1 overall.

Late in the second half, Bluffton pulled out all the stops and nearly sent the match into overtime when Frankie Hamilton (Ashland/Mapleton) connected with fellow junior Taylor Dye (Big Prairie/West Holmes). The home team continued to put pressure on the Belles, but SMC held on for the 2-1 victory on Monday.

Juniors Nina McGinn (Marion/Harding) and Emma White (St. Marys/Memorial) both put up three shots against the Belles. Saint Mary’s finished with five more attempts (17-12), but Bluffton forced six (8-2) more corner kicks. Freshman Brielle Collier (Anna) knocked away six SMC shot attempts.
