BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (Oct. 3, 2015) - The LIU Post women's soccer team suffered its first East Coast Conference loss of 2015 on Saturday, dropping a 1-0 decision to No. 6 University of Bridgeport at Knights Field.

The Pioneers (7-2-1, 1-1-1 ECC) were held scoreless for the first time since 2013.

Bridgeport (8-1, 3-0 ECC) scored in the 13th minute, and from there, the defenses took over.

LIU Post was limited to just two shots in the first 45 minutes, and senior forward Susanne Vistnes (Randaberg, Norway) sent one wide right before the opening session expired.

In the second half, Vistnes had a shot saved in the 80th minute, before junior forward Julia Backman (Morsil, Sweden) fired one wide in the 82nd minute.

It wasn't until the 90th minute that freshman forward Angela Careddu's (Flushing, N.Y.) last attempt was off the mark.

In all, Bridgeport outshot the Pioneers, 11-5, but just two of LIU Post's shots were on goal.

Senior keeper Katelyn Phillips (Littleton, Colo.) and junior netminder Felicia Orderud (Gothenburg, Sweden) each made two saves for the green and gold.

Head Coach Mark Dawson and the Pioneers return to action on Tuesday (Oct. 6), when they take on Dowling College in an ECC battle in Brookhaven, N.Y. The opening kick is scheduled for 4 p.m.
