Redlands scored the first goal of the game after just 16 seconds

After trailing 14-10 at the half, Redlands struck just 10 seconds

Bulldogs went on to score 12 unanswered goals until Sewanee junior
Meg Welton (Germantown, Tenn., Houston ) found the back
of the net in the 16th minute. Sewanee mounted a comeback with just
minutes to play and scored four unanswered goals, but ran out of
time before they could close the gap.

and Theresa Monypeny (Memphis, Tenn., Hutchison)
combined for 10 saves. Sewanee won 21 draw
controls and converted 6 of 7 free-position shots.
“The difference in the game was time of
possession in the second half,” said Sewanee Head Coach
Michele Dombrowski. "We were definitely able to
execute when we had possession, which is a big positive going into
our next game.”
With the loss, Sewanee drops to 0-2.
