The Colonials suffered their first loss of the season, spotting the Fords a 3-1 halftime lead and spending the rest of the game playing catch-up.
“PW and Haverford played a physical and competitive contest this afternoon,” PW coach Charise Halteman said. “Haverford got on the board first after a defensive breakdown by PW.”
The Colonials responded quickly with a goal from Kayla Link during corner play, but the Fords closed out the half with a pair of goals. The Fords did not score in the second half, but the Colonials would get no closer than one, thanks to a goal by Kaleigh Missimer.
“(We were) only able to score one despite putting high pressure on Haverford’s defenders,” Halteman said.
