PITTSBURGH, PA- The Chatham University Soccer team fell by a score of 2-0 to La Roche College on Saturday afternoon at Chatham's Varsity Field. Coming off a 1-0 win against Westmoreland County, the Cougars could not capitalize against the (1-1) Red Hawks' defense.

“With each game we see improvements throughout the group. Our players are starting to find their roles within the team,” said head Coach Betsy Warren. “I was really pleased with our performance today. Despite the score line, we can walk away knowing we had a successful match. I think it says a lot about a team that works together as a group to achieve a common goal, and that's exactly what we have been doing.”
