St. Mary’s City, Md. – After a weeklong layoff, the St. Mary’s College of Maryland women’s soccer team was back at it again Sunday afternoon in Seahawk Stadium. St. Mary’s (3-3-0) looked to stretch its win streak to four but the visiting Haverford College Fords (2-2-0) had other ideas, pulling out a 1-0 non-conference win.
St. Mary’s 0, Haverford 1
