Women's Soccer Set to Open America East Play at Binghamton on Sunday Afternoon

UMBC lost 3-0 against the Navy Mids on Sunday evening at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility.
UMBC started strong in the opening stages of the match but was unable to convert their chances.
In the 8th minute, junior forward Payton Schenning, who led the team with three shots, took a great strike from 20 yards after evading a defender, but her shot sailed just over the far post.
Just four minutes later, junior forward Grace Dunbar made an excellent cross from the right side for Schenning, but Navy goalkeeper Natasha Stramrood denied Schenning's header from the center of the box.
Navy scored three goals in the first half and cruised to the victory.
