Chicago, Ill. - The Lady Scarlet Hawks lost a tough game to Nationally Ranked Trinity Christian College. The game played at Stuart Field ended with a final score of 7-0.

However, Trinity Christian was still able to get two more goals in the first half. Senior Emily Moore picked up a yellow card and freshman Lauren Walters received two yellows to earn a red. That left the Scarlet Hawks a player down for the remaining 55 minutes of the game.
