NEW HAVEN, Conn. – A three-game win streak was snapped for Yale women's soccer as they fell to Fordham, 3-2, at Reese Stadium. The Bulldogs moved to 3-2 overall on the season.
"Bummed about the result as I do believe we created enough to equalize later in the game, but unfortunately couldn't put one away," said
Sarah Martinez, Loring Family Head Coach. "We have to find ways to start games stronger. We've had multiple games now of not turning it on until the second half. We have a tough weekend ahead starting with UConn on the road that we need to shift our attention to."
