RICHMOND, Va. - The Old Dominion women's soccer team (1-2) fell to VCU (2-0) by a 4-0 score on a rainy Thursday afternoon at Sports Backers Stadium.
"We started the game really poor today," explained ODU head coach Angie Hind. "We allowed our opponent to take the game to us and play in our half right from the start. Credit to them, they really put us under great pressure and never let up. I thought VCU was much better than us today. We simply have to compete from the start in every game, as the caliber of teams we play will punish us if we don't and that clearly was the case today."
The Monarchs went into the locker room trailing 1-0 at halftime, after the Rams scored the first half's only goal in the 6th minute.
VCU tacked on three second half goals in the 54', 58' and 70', all scored by Samantha Jerabek.
For the match, ODU held a 4-3 advantage in corner kicks, while the Rams outshot the Monarchs, 8-6.
Old Dominion will be back in action on Sunday, Feb. 14, when the Monarchs travel to James Madison for a 3 p.m. match.
