FT. MYERS, Fla.  – The Wofford College women's soccer team stood strong on defense throughout the first half, but eventually dropped a 3-0 decision to the Eagles of Florida Gulf Coast at FGCU Sports Complex on Friday evening.
 
The Eagles' Shannen Wacker struck home the eventual game-winner in the 48th minute on a Tabby Tindell assist. Tindell drove the ball into the box before sliding the ball over to Wacker for the one-tap finish.
 
After seeing action in the last game against Clemson, senior Shonte Campbell started in goal for Wofford with the injury of Kara Boggs. Campbell earned 10 saves in the Terrier loss, including four in the first half to send both sides into the break knotted at nil.
 
The Eagles were dominant, outshooting the Terriers 29-1, and earning nine corner kicks to Wofford's two. The Eagles were a bit eager at times, getting called offside five times, while Wofford was limited to just one.
 
Tindell continued to be a challenge for the Terriers defense to handle. The sophomore forward struck home a pair of goals to secure FGCU's lead. Eight minutes after Wacker's goal, Tindell headed the ball home on a cross from sophomore midfielder Ashley Parks. Tindell then put the final nail in the coffin in the 73rd minute, taking on Campbell in a one-on-one situation, chipping over her head.
 
Wofford's lone attempt on goal came on the foot of Hannah Washko.  The freshman midfielder struck a shot towards goal in the 30th, that was thwarted by keeper Brittany Brown.
 
Women's soccer continues their road trip in Boca Raton on Sunday, where they take on Florida Atlantic University. The two will face off at FAU Soccer Stadium at 1 p.m.
