Jordan Nets Ninth Goal in 4-1 Defeat at St. Mary's

Box Score

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md.--Senior Cara Jordan of the Hood College women's soccer team (4-8, 0-5 CAC) became the first Blazer to score on the St. Mary's College (Md.) Seahawks (3-4-1, 3-1 CAC) in five years in a 4-1 Capital Athletic Conference loss Saturday afternoon.

Jordan registered her team-leading ninth goal of the season in the 53rd minute, marking the first tally for Hood against SMCM since 2006. The Blazers had been outscored 22-0 by the Seahawks in the previous four tilts.

After a scoreless first half, the Seahawks' Tori Eskay converted a cross from Bridget McGovern just 3:07 into the second stanza. But a little more than four minutes later, Hood sophomore Stevey Markovich fed a streaking Jordan in the box and she chipped the ball over a diving Kelsey Wirtz for the equalizer.

But Eskay wasn't finished and notched three more scores in a span of four minutes for the final margin.

Hood was outshot 24-6 in the contest and was awarded just one corner kick to the Seahawks' nine. Keeper Rachelle Buhrman (3-7) tallied five saves in the net for the Blazers.

Hood returns home Wednesday to host Catholic University in a nonconference game at 4:30 p.m.
