LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY – The Baldwin-Wallace College women's soccer team dropped to 2-1 overall this season when it lost 1-0 to Centre (Ky.) College today (Saturday, September 10, 2011) in the first round of the Transylvania University Tournament. The Yellow Jackets play the host school tomorrow at 4:30 p.m.

The Yellow Jackets opened the season with victories against Penn State Behrend (Pa.) University, 3-2, and Oberlin College, 6-1, prior to losing to Centre. The B-W defense has been a solid in allowing just four goals in three matches.

Following a scoreless first half, the Colonels scored the only goal of the match at the 51:30 mark when Mary Taylor Kersey capitalized on a corner kick with Kelsey Boling earning the assist.  Centre outshot the Yellow Jackets, 12-2, and won the battle of corner kicks, 9-1.

The Yellow Jackets are back in action on  Tuesday, Sept. 13 when B-W hosts traditional rival Hiram College on the Tressel Field turf at The George Finnie Stadium at 7:00 p.m.

After three matches, sophomore forward Kayla Losco (Aliquippa, Pa./ Hopewell) leads the team in scoring with six points on three goals and sophomore forward Heather Keller (Parma) is second with five points on one goal and a team-leading three assists.  Losco has taken both the most total shots with six and the most shots on goal with five.
