The Mount Union women’s soccer team fell to Fredonia (N.Y.) 1-0 Saturday afternoon.
The Purple Raiders (2-2) began the half with shots on goal by multiple players, all of which were stopped by Fredonia (3-1) goalkeeper Kendall Owczarzak. Fredonia’s Maria Gordon scored a goal in the 20th minute of the game, making the score 1-0. Mount Union went into the half trailing by one.

After 90 minutes of play, the final score was 1-0 in Fredonia’s favor.
