MARIETTA, Ohio – The Marietta College women's soccer team wrapped up the 2021 campaign with a 2-0 loss to Baldwin Wallace on Saturday (Oct.30) afternoon.  

"It's been a very difficult, but eventful season.  We hoped for a better result today, but we got to end our season on a high note by celebrating our three seniors," said Head Coach Sean Kaighin.  "We'll continue to learn from this year and hit the ground running in the off-season."

Baldwin Wallace opened the scoring in the 22nd minute of the match with a goal by Sydney Rice.  Rice turned and dribbled to the right side of the 18-yard box, she hit her shot to the lower near post and snuck the ball passed goalie Katie Delaney (Batavia, Ohio/West Clermont).

The Yellow Jackets out shot Marietta 9-4 in the first half, with one shot on frame by the Pioneers.  Taylor Sloan (Belpre, Ohio/Warren) placed her shot on frame late in the half, but the Baldwin Wallace goalie made the save and Marietta entered the intermission behind, 1-0.  

The Yellow Jackets doubled their lead in the 53rd minute of the match when Maddie Farrell scored off a corner kick.  The ball was played to the back post from a corner kick, Natalie Stewart played a ball to Farrell who shot the ball high to make the score 2-0.  

The Pioneers got off a pair of shots in the second half.  The shots came from Melissa Szawranskyj (Westerville, Ohio/Westerville North) and Kayla Stischok (Columbus, Ohio/Hilliard Davidson).  Marietta was unable to find the back of the net, and fell 2-0.
