Box Score
Despite another inspired effort, the Louisiana College women's soccer team fell just short in Saturday's opening weekend match against Hendrix College in Conway, AR, dropping a 3-2 decision against the Warrior.
 
The Lady Cats wasted no time taking an early 1-0 lead when highly touted junior transfer Pamela Usry found the back of the net off an assist from Corey Clampit.
 
However, Hannah Sigda's outstanding day proved to be the difference in the final outcome, as the Hendrix forward recorded a rare hat trick, scoring goals in the 14^th, 26^th, and 47^th minute to give the Warriors a 3-1 cushion.
 
LC sophomore forward Taylor Bergeron would make things interesting in the 51^st minute, as her first goal of the season brought the Lady Wildcats closer, 3-2.
 
The Lady Cats would have one final chance to tie the match, but when Brandi Martin's shot in the 86^th minute sailed high, Hendrix was able to close things out from there to take the win.
 
LC had yet another encouraging effort offensively, as the Lady Cats rattled off 12 shots, 8 of which were on target, compared to 4 shots (all of which were on target) for the Warriors.
 
Bruce Deaton's club will get a short rest before they open their home slate on against in-state rival Centenary at 5 p.m. on Thursday, September 5^th at Wildcat Field.
