Front Royal, VA- The Lady Crusaders had their last home game of the season on Saturday October 9th.  It was the Women's Soccer team's senior night, so Annie McGraw(Senior/Manassas, VA) was the star of the game. Saturday was McGraw's last home soccer game before she graduates.

The girls played against Hagerstown Community College, a game where the Crusaders dominated possession, but the final score tallied 1-0 in favor of Hagerstown. The Crusaders had a slip up during a corner kick. The ball was in play inside the eighteen when one of the Crusaders got charged with a hand ball. Hagerstown successfully made their PK, but thanks to the Crusader's strong defense, that was the only goal scored by Hagerstown. The Crusaders dominated the field in terms of possession by passing around Hagerstown but, to their fault, were unable to finish. The Crusaders had their opportunities, winning two PKs during the match, but the Hagerstown goalie came up with big saves on both. Although, the Lady Crusader's did not win, they fought hard, giving the fans a very entertaining last home game of the season.

With the lose the team becomes 4-2 on the season. The ladies have their final game of the season at Potomac State this Thursday at 7pm.
