On a picture perfect October evening, with the air crisp and clear, the Flagler College Lady Saints soccer squad lost to NAIA No. 1 Lindsey Wilson College at Flagler Field.

The seemingly undaunted Lady Saints came out strong in the first half against the Blue Raiders, led by freshman defensemen Samantha Warr and sophomore midfielder Caitlin Eggimann. The Lady Saints took a number of shots at Blue Raiders goaltender Lisbeth Skjodt, but could not put the ball in the back of the net. Despite that inability to score, Coach Teddy Meyer was very impressed with his young team.

Coming off a record-setting season with 14 wins, coach Teddy Meyer and the Lady Saints finally got the monkey off their back with their first win Sept. 24, against Webber International in a 3-0 win.

Sophomore forward Pam Quimby scored first for the Lady Saints in the 31st minute of the game on a loose ball in front of the goal. Freshman forward Tiffany Urquhart scored on a through ball in the 79th minute, passed by junior defender Jessica Echterling, and to cap off the game in the 86th minute, Quimby scored her second of the match off of a pass from Urquhart.

“It was a good win,” Meyer said. “It was very rewarding.”
