The East Carolina University women’s soccer team took on its first opponent in a scrimmage at home to open up their fall season against the Virginia Commonwealth Rams on Friday night in Johnson Stadium.
A hard fought battle between the two teams caused it to be a challenge for both defenses, but ECU was able to fight off the Rams in a 1-0 win with a goal from senior forward Jenna Dages.
Since it was a scrimmage, the teams played three 30 minute periods instead of the standard 45 minute halves. This allowed both teams to really move into their strides going into the new season.
