AU maintained their composure and opened their scoring when senior Lauren Lane pushed the score to 4-1 with an unassisted shot.

The Eagles started the second half off strong and ready to take down their opponents. However, Old Dominion took control, gaining the first two goals of the second half and giving AU an even greater gap of 6-1.

Junior Gina Ibello scored two goals throughout the game but was unable to help bring down Old Dominion's strong offensive players.

AU players had strong ground balls throughout the game and multiple impressive interceptions. AU matched Old Dominion in almost all areas except for successful shots. Goalie Kristine Vida saved 11 shots for the Eagles throughout the game.

With this loss, the Eagles' record falls to 1-3 on the season. The next game is Tuesday at home against Towson.
