SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The Army West Point women's soccer team fell 3-1 to the University of San Diego on Sunday afternoon at Torero Stadium, closing out the program's season-opening road trip.

USD scored early on its home pitch, finding the back of the net just two minutes into the match, and never looked back. Though the Black Knights were able to cut the opposing team's 2-0 lead in half when Trinity Garay netted the team's first goal of the 2021 campaign, the Toreros' 20-9 advantage in shots powered them to the victory.

The Black Knights had five total shots on goal, with Emma Richey's two looks leading the team. She nearly tallied the equalizer when Army trailed 1-0 after trying to convert a corner kick and Kaelan Bradley also had a close attempt with her header that was inches off the post.

Coach's Corner
"Ultimately, we did not step on the field ready to play today, and this team made us pay for that," head coach Tracy Chao said. "We had some good moments but were inconsistent throughout the entire match, which makes it difficult to put ourselves in position to create chances. There's a lot more season ahead of us and this team has the ability to grow and learn as all eyes are on Marist on Thursday."

Inside the Box Score
•    Taylor Stalheim collected nine saves in her first start between the sticks.
•    The rookie duo of Grace Edvalds and Abby Doyle also made their first career starts.
•    In addition to Richey, both Garay and Palaian got a pair of shots off.
•    Army's offense was well-balanced throughout 90 minutes, recording five shots in the first half and four in the second.
•    This marks the first time since 2012 that the team has opened up a season with back-to-back road games.

Up Next
The team will return home to open up Malek Stadium with a match against Marist on Thursday, Aug. 26. Kick-off against the Red Foxes is scheduled for 6 p.m. Further details regarding attendance policies will be announced as they are finalized.
