With the second part of their season starting up, they are now 9-5-1 after they lost to Southwestern College in double overtime. 

It was a hard-fought match in Atchison, Kan. as senior Lindsey Carley had five saves on the day. Carley allowed one goal in the 33’ to Benedictine Colleges own Meagan Papin. After that goal Carley would go on to shut out Benedictine College. 

The women couldn’t get much offense going especially in the second half as all their shots came in the first half. Martinez led the Bulldogs in shots, Sophomore Grace Soenksen and junior Bethany Fuchs each had a shot on goal. Benedictines Olivia Berry and Ashley Rehagen split the goalkeeping duties evenly.
