Box Score BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The W women's soccer team (0-7) fell, 3-0, to Birmingham-Southern College (3-1) on Monday afternoon at Goldfarb Field. The panthers were propelled forward by a first-half goal and two second-half goals to defeat the Owls.

In the 19^th minute, sophomore Lizzie Truelock recorded The W's first shot of the game, but it went wide.

Birmingham Southern picked up goals in the 53rd and 57th minutes to complete the second-half scoring effort.

In the net, Caitlyn Fox played the entire 90 minutes to allow three goals with 12 saves.

"[The] girls had a much better performance tonight," said head coach Catie Lyles. "We tried out a new formation, and it took them a little while to settle into it. Communication on the field was much better tonight, and things are coming together. We are excited to see even more progress in the games Friday and Saturday."
The Owls will return to Birmingham Southern on Friday, March 5, for its second match of the week before returning home on Saturday to host Millsaps College.
