Winston-Salem, NC - In a rematch of a scoreless draw from earlier in the season, goals were again hard to come by with the Piedmont College women's soccer team traveling to Salem College where the Spirits grabbed a 1-0 win at home on Wednesday evening. 

Piedmont controlled the run of play throughout the first half outshooting the home team five to three with several chances in the box to take an early lead.  

Unable to connect on the attack in the opening 45, the Lady Lions then faced a second half surge from the Spirits with back-to-back shots coming in a flurry in front of the net midway through the period.  

However, it was not until the 84th minute that either team was able to find the back of the net though it was the Spirits who scored with Brooke Bukas finishing a Maddie Crumpton cross from the right side breaking a scoreless game and handing Salem the win.
