BEREA, Ky. – The Earlham College women's soccer team battled back from two goals down to tie the game, but the Mountaineers of Berea College netted two goals just before halftime to seal a 5-2 victory over the Quakers on Sunday.

Berea scored less than a minute into the contest and again in the sixth minute to take a 2-0 lead. Junior Abbey Smith answered with a goal four minutes later cutting the Mountaineers lead to 2-1.

Senior Cherrah Barclay found the back of the net for the second time this season at the 39:00 mark off of a pass from freshman Jemayla Nelsonwood. With the game tied 2-2, Berea added two late goals in the first half and another in the second half to seal the victory.
