NEWBERG, Ore. - The Lions wrapped up their 3-game weekend with a hard-fought 2-0 loss against George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon.

In the 16th minute, Becca Kozak broke the deadlock with a well-placed shot to the center of the goal, putting the Bruins up 1-0.

Despite the Lions' efforts, they struggled to challenge the George Fox defense. The Lions recorded nine shots overall but only four were on target, none of which posed a significant threat to the Bruins' goalkeeper. George Fox extended their lead early in the second half when Taylor Ho added a second goal in the 47th minute.
