Owings Mills, MD-  The Mustangs fell to #2 NC Wesleyan this afternoon in their last game of the regular season 2-0.  The defense stepped it up against the intense Wesleyan offense as they held the nationally ranked offense to only 22 shots.  Goalie, Eric Lowman had a demanding presence in goal recording 12 saves and only allowing the Battling Bishops to hit the net two times.  The Bishops hit the net 7 minutes into the game to score the only goal in the first half.

The Mustangs came out with aggression in the second half and battled hard against the Bishops.  Lowman had an incredible save but the Bishops found the goal for the second time of the day off of the deflection.  The game ended with forceful play back and forth.
