Soccer struggles through opening weekend

The Vanderbilt Women's Soccer team faced off against the UAB Blazers on Firday, August 23rd. The Commodores were unable to top UAB finishing the game down 3 goals to 1.

After falling 4-3 in an exhibition match to Alabama a week prior, it was reasonable for Ambrose and his team to expect some high scoring tallies early in the season, and that the goals would certainly come for a Commodore team whose most pressing concern was defense.

Through two matches, both 1-0 losses, the opposite issue has emerged. Vandy remains without a goal through its first two contests, but held Miami and Cincinnati to just one goal apiece as the team bought in to Ambrose’s ideals of defensive accountability.
