LATROBE, Pa. (Oct. 23) – The Saint Vincent women's soccer team suffered its second straight defeat on Wednesday night, falling 4-2 to Presidents' Athletic Conference co-leading Grove City College at UPMC Field.

The two squads traded scoring chances early in the second half, with SVC keeper Rilyn Warner making a pair of saves over the first seven minutes, while the Bearcats saw attempts from Annie Van Horn and Emma Koller turned aside.
 
The Wolverines added onto their lead in the 62nd minute on a Natalie Merrick goal off of a corner kick, before the Bearcats answered right back less than 90 seconds later.
