ANDERSON, S.C. - Despite being outshot by one, Anderson University women's soccer was unable to keep up with a quick Florida Southern team as the Trojans fell to the Mocs, 3-0, in nonconference action Wednesday evening at Trojan Stadium.

The setback snaps AU's brief two-match winning streak to begin the 2014 season and hands the Black and Gold its first loss. Florida Southern, which will begin Sunshine State Conference play in early October, improves to 2-0-1 coming off a 1-1 draw with South Atlantic Conference opponent Lenoir-Rhyne.

The Mocs, who played 21 players compared to AU's 16, claimed the shot category, 12-11, but three Anderson shots troubled FSC goalkeeper Erin Moseley, while five shots from the visitors made AU goalkeeper Sadie Lancaster work, as the sophomore tabs her first loss of the year. Lancaster closed the evening with two saves.

After the Trojans committed a foul just outside the 18-yard box, Florida Southern made the most of the opportunity as Kristy Legoas flicked a pass to Aubrey Riggins who slotted a shot passed Lancaster for the match's opening goal. For Riggins, the goal was her first of the year.

Following the halftime break, the Mocs added to their goal total immediately as Abby Bravo pushed a shot passed the outstretched Lancaster in the 47th minute. The goal was started by Ricki Vetzel's long run down the right side and was fed into the AU box from her right foot. The tally was Bravo's second goal of the year and Vetzel's first assist of the young season.

FSC closed the scoring in the 81st minute when Izzy Loyd lofted a long-range shot over the head of Lancaster for her first score of the year.

Anderson held its opponents without a corner kick for the night, while the Trojans tallied four for the night. Leading the offensive attack was freshman Maddie Volz, who finished with four shots with one coming on goal. Sophomores Alaina Gay and Paige Gowans-Smith also fired on Moseley.

The Trojans look to return to the winning track on Saturday when it opens SAC play at Catawba. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m.
