WATERLOO, Ont. - The Brock University women's soccer team (0-1-2 OUA) suffered their first loss of the season dropping a 3-1 decision against the No. 8 ranked Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks Wednesday night at University Stadium.

Last season's OUA scoring leader Emily Brown, opened the scoring for the Hawks in the 23rd minute after receiving a great feed from Julie Maheu. The goal was Brown's first of the season but before the end of the game she would add a second to her total in the 84th minute.

Also netting her first goal of the season for the Golden Hawks was midfielder Katie Bishop. Her goal came three minutes after Brown's first on a penalty kick.

At the very end of the game, Brock was awarded a penalty shot and junior midfielder Cailyn Durish (Welland, Ont.) made no mistake on the shot putting it past starting goalkeeper Katrina Ward to break Laurier's shutout bid.

In goal, Brock freshman Alexa Jackman (Niagara Falls, Ont.) recorded seven saves in the loss. Ward collected one save for her second win of the season.

The Badgers next action is Sunday, September 8th when they play host to the McMaster Marauders at 1:00pm in their homeopener.
