KENNESAW, Ga. – The Kennesaw State women's soccer team closed out its regular-season home schedule with a disappointing 1-0 loss to Stetson on Senior Day Sunday afternoon at Fifth Third Bank Stadium.

The lone goal of the match came in the 40th minute when Adrianna Suarez position herself inside the box and was able to finish after being assisted by Anette Morton and Hailey Williams.

BENJI BITES
"You have to credit Stetson. They executed and I told the team it can be a tough sport to play some times," head coach Benji Walton said. "I thought we played well enough to win. They executed their chance and we had some good looks but just didn't get one to go in for us. We just have re-group now and look in the mirror a little bit and get back to work."
 
WALTON ON THE SENIORS
"The seniors have been amazing. We hated not to be able to get them a win today. I am so proud of them. They have led by example and with their hearts every single day, and have done everything I have asked of them. It's a special group and we're going to keep battling for them and everybody."

THE SENIORS
The seven seniors honored prior to the match were Shannon Driscoll, Kim Fincher, Monica Herrera, Cassidy Kemp, Maggie Gaughan, Catherine McDuff-Viau and Brittney Reed.
