The teams then battled throughout the second half before the host Bears managed to find the back of the net when Julia Mundy scored at the 82:29 mark with what would prove to be the game-winning goal to give Coast Guard the 2-1 victory.

Sophomore Kara Collins (Arlington, N.J.) made one save in the loss for Johnson & Wales while Mary Mills had five stops in the win for Coast Guard.

With the loss Johnson & Wales is now 0-3 while Coast Guard is now 1-1 for the year. The Wildcats will return to action on Saturday, September 10th when they host Anna Maria for a Great Northeast Athletic Conference contest at 1:00 p.m.
