Box Score SPRINGFIELD, Mass.--The Western New England University women's soccer squad suffered a 2-0 setback Tuesday at Springfield College in a non-conference match-up of crosstown schools.

The Golden Bears, who fall to 3-2 on the season, couldn't generate much offense with just two shots--none on frame.

Springfield (2-1) struck first, scoring just 9 minutes and 59 seconds into the first half on a goal by Nina Vital. The Pride made it 2-0 in the 25th minute on a perfectly placed shot by Nicole Fowler from the left side.

Sophomore goalkeeper Briana Kubik returned to the WNE starting lineup after missing the Plymouth State game, making eight saves.
