ANGOLA, Ind. – The Capital University women's soccer team (1-4-0) traveled across state lines to take on Trine (3-1-2) on Saturday afternoon. The Comets looked to possibly escape with a tie but would ultimately fall after conceding in the final seconds, 3-2.
Cap pulled ahead early with
Rachel Austin's first goal of the season in just the fourth minute. The 1-0 lead would not last long, however, with Trine tying it up only five minutes later.

CU responded in due time, scoring in the 89th to seemingly force a certain tie. Unfortunately for the Comets, Trine would tally another with just 31 seconds left to steal the win, 3-2.
