FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Sacred Heart women's soccer team fought hard but eventually fell to the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds 1-0 Friday night at Campus Field in its home finale.

Even though Sacred Heart controlled the ball through a majority of the second half, LIU Brooklyn scored the eventual game-winner in the 78^th minute. Summer Sofer tallied her first goal of the season on a shot from the top of the box that snuck past Pioneers goalkeeper Talia Schwartz and into the right corner of the goal. Allegra Ondrejka was credited with the assist. Sacred Heart came close to equalizing in the 85^th minute, but what could have been the tying goal was called off because of a foul in the 18-yard box.
