MARYVILLE, TN - The Howard Payne University women's soccer team finished up its road trip with a 1-0 loss to Piedmont College Saturday afternoon.

The Lady Jackets were outshot 15-2 overall and 6-1 in shots on goal but played solid defensively in the 1-0 loss. 

Kacie Masters and Miranda Rice recorded the two shots for the Lady Jackets. Nicole Goodwin played all 90 minutes in goal for HPU recording 5 saves and allowing just the one goal.
