ARKADELPHIA, Ark. –The Ouachita Tigers' women's soccer team fell at home to Oklahoma Baptist by a final score of 2-1.

Oklahoma Baptist opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a short-range goal. Ouachita kept Oklahoma Baptist from scoring a second goal until the 73rd minute when an Oklahoma Baptist shot fell into the back of the net after a Lady Bison controlled a ball that deflected off a Ouachita defender. Ouachita was able to compensate in the 83rd minute when
Bryson Rial put a loose ball into the goal. However, the Tigers were unable to find a second goal to complete their comeback, so their three-game win-streak came to an end.
