LEXINGTON, Va. – The Greensboro College women's soccer team dropped their season opener to the Generals of Washington & Lee University Friday, 2-0.
 
In the first half, Greensboro was able to battle to a scoreless draw before Washington & Lee scored their first goal just four minutes into the second period.
 
The score then remained the same for the next 12 minutes before the game's final goal was scored.
 
Despite the result, Greensboro had an outstanding performance in goal by Kelsey Emrich as she stopped 10 of the 12 shots she saw.
 
"The effort from the team today was fantastic," Head Coach Jordan May said. "Our fight from start to finish, and some terrific goalkeeping, is something I am extremely proud of.
 
"Washington and Lee is a top notch program and the high level of play showed us we have much to work on, but also allowed us to see where we want to go. We are looking forward to another opportunity to grow tomorrow against Bridgewater."
 
Greensboro will return to action Saturday when they square off with Bridgewater College at Washington & Lee. For more information on Greensboro College women's soccer, continue to follow www.greensborocollegesports.com.
