RIVER FOREST, Ill. - The Regents women's soccer team (2-8-0, 1-6-0 NACC) fell 2-1 in a hard-fought match Wednesday afternoon to the Concordia University Chicago Cougars (2-7-2, 2-3-2 NACC).

• Rockford was then able to break the scoreless tie in the 34th minute of the match. Freshman Bianca Tovar made an excellent pass to Rianna Tovar, who beat the Cougar keeper, to give the Regents a 1-0 lead heading into the half. 
• However, CUC would tie the match just over three minutes into the second half when Medelin Loza scored her second goal of the season.
• The score remained tied until the 62:53 mark of the match. This time it was CUC's Allie Brown who found the back of the net to give the Cougars a 2-1 advantage. 
• The Regents had one additional shot attempt the remainder of the game, but unfortunately, Samara Tanchuck missed high, as CUC held on for a 2-1 win.

• Rianna Tovar scored her first goal of the season.
