The Malone University women's soccer team suffered a 3-1 defeat in its Great Midwest Athletic Conference road contest at Trevecca Nazarene University on Thursday night.

The Trojans struck first, grabbing a 1-0 lead a little less than 10 minutes into the first half.

Malone knotted things up 1-1 in the 59th minute as sophomore Kassidy Hannum (Loxahatchee, FL) registered her first career goal, drilling a header into the net off a pass from senior Brianna Smith (Madison Heights, MI).  The assist was Smith's second of the season and 10th of her career.

Trevecca quickly responded, pulling ahead with a goal in the 65th minute of play and then tacking a third score with just under 10 minutes remaining.

The host Trojans improved to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in the G-MAC with the victory while the Pioneers dropped to 2-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play.

Malone will look to bounce back on Saturday when the squad travels to Owensboro, Kentucky for a 2:30 p.m. CDT (3:30 p.m. EDT) match against Kentucky Wesleyan College.
