MOUNT BERRY Ga. -- Mia Ries scored the only goal for Berry in the 36th minute as the women's soccer team fell short losing 2-1 against Washington & Lee Sunday afternoon at Bob Pearson Field.

Despite the loss, goalkeeper Julia Massa recorded nine saves for the Vikings (4-3) as W&L totaled 11 shots on goal.  

In the 36th minute, off a W&L free kick, the Vikings gained possession and Tori Toellner sent the ball forward to Mia Ries. The freshman took the ball halfway down the field, outrunning the defenders. Ries shot the goal to the goalkeeper's left into the bottom corner of the net, scoring the equalizer for the Vikings.

Hannah Henn and Christina Marijanich both recorded shots on goal for the Vikings.  

W&L got ahead quickly as they scored the first goal of the game in the second minute and the game-winning goal in the 58th minute.

The Vikings will be back at it next Saturday at Sewanee with a kickoff time at 2:30 PM.
