After dueling through nearly 70 minutes of scoreless play, the Fighting Scots were bested, 1-0, off a last minute goal by visiting non-conference opponent Wellesley College.
Despite strong offensive fronts from both teams in the first half which challenged Wellesley keeper Brit Mscisz (So./Topsfield, Mass.) to make four saves and Gordon netminder Anna Bury (So./Huntingtown, Md.) to turn away five, the score remained deadlocked at 0-0 heading into the break. The second half proved to be a different story and much more heavily defensive as neither team allowed any significant scoring opportunities. Just as the game was looking to be headed towards overtime, however, Wellesley's Lallie Lukans (Fr./Fall Church, Va.) broke the long silence after finishing a pass from Nathalie Gruet (Fr./Acton, Mass.) with just 35 seconds remaining in regulation to hand the host Scots the loss.
With the loss Gordon moves to 1-1 overall on the season while Wellesley improves to an unbeaten 2-0. The Scots return to play on September 6 as they travel to face Babson in a non-conference matchup. Wellesley travels to New England on September 7.
