Starting SEC play with a loss is not ideal, but when it comes at the #9 team in the country, the pill is a little less bitter to swallow. Vanderbilt dug an early hole with 3 goals conceded in the first 19 minutes. The first goal allowed came off a cross Alex Wagner headed straight up into the air. She got under the ball to play it as it came down, but the separation allowed an attacker to rush in and score before she got a touch on the dropping ball. Then Maddie Baker was simply beaten in the air by a taller, higher leaping Gamecock.
