FREDERICK, Md.--The Hood College women's soccer team (4-7, 0-4 CAC) suffered a 2-0 Capital Athletic Conference defeat at the hands of the Stevenson University Mustangs (5-5, 2-1 CAC) Wednesday afternoon at Thomas Athletic Field.

After a scoreless first half, the Mustangs netted a pair of second-half goals to secure their second CAC win of the season. The Blazers, meanwhile, were outshot 27-11 and remain winless in league matchups.

Danielle Pulliam scored her first goal of the season in the 49th minute when she tapped in a cross from Heather Redding in front of an open net. Samantha Novy then tacked on an insurance goal in the 64th minute off a feed from Catherine Madden.

The Blazers fired five shots on target, including a pair by junior Aimee Smith, but all five were denied by starting keeper Brittany Ross. Sophomore Stevey Markowvich, junior Casey Miller and sophomore Stephanie Taylor were also credited with shots on goal.

Senior Rachelle Buhrman made eight saves in defeat while junior Kirsten Cacciola played the 19:51 in the net and rejected three attempts.

Hood next travels to CAC foe St. Mary's College (Md.) Saturday for a noon contest.
