ANDERSON, S.C. – Anderson University Women's Soccer (6-6-1, 3-4-1 SAC) celebrated its senior class on Friday night, honoring the graduating class before falling to conference opponent Mars Hill (7-5-3, 3-2-3 SAC), 1-0.
The Trojans recognized four seniors and their contributions to the program including, goalkeeper
Aliyah Morgan (Fort Myers, Fla.), forward
Kaitlyn Gregory (Cincinnati, Ohio), midfielder

Despite controlling much of the offensive action, the contest remained scoreless until Mars Hill broke through in the 79th minute. Anderson finished with 17 shots, six on goal, compared to just seven total shots for the Lions, but could not find an equalizer before the time expired.
Morgan returned from her time playing for the Jamaican National Team, recording all 90 minutes in goal for the Black and Gold while recording three saves and allowing only one to find the back of the net.
Sophomore
Gabby Kirchner (Lavallette, N.J.) posted four shots with one on target for the Trojans while Gregory led the Black and Gold with two shots on goal for the evening.
