WILMINGTON, N.C. – Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders drop their fifth-straight loss as Charleston Cougars scored two unanswered goals to take the match 2-1 on early Sunday morning in Wilmington, N.C. The Raiders drop to 3-5-0.

"We fought hard today and deserved more from this game," said head coach Aston Rhoden. "The non-conference slate has been a series of highs and lows for us. We need to learn from it and quickly move on to the conference phase of the season."

Coming out of the break, the Cougars clinched the game-winning goal 10 minutes into the second half. The Raiders had ample amount of opportunities to answer, but none made it to the back of the net.

Freshman Ida Forsberg made her first start in career front of the net as she earned four saves and only allowing two goals. Sam DeBien, Miya Lennon and Maddi Falter took shots for the Raiders.
