Faith faced Buena Vista University in a challenging match, while missing several key starters forced the Eagles to adjust their usual lineup.
Despite the changes the team held strong in the first half, allowing only nine shots, five of which were on goal. Goalkeeper Enzo Pileggi delivered a stellar performance, saving every shot as the teams went into halftime tied 0-0. In the second half BVU controlled possession, but Faith's defense remained firm until the 62nd minute, when the Beavers scored two quick goals within a minute. The game slowed down from there, with the final score 2-0 in favor of the home team.
Despite the loss, Faith's defense showed resilience, with Pileggi's 8 total saves keeping the game close all the way through.
Up Next: The Eagles will play 6 of their final 7 games at home, starting with an MCCC match against CCCB on Friday, October 11th at 3:30 PM.
