Chargers fall in SAC opener

Teegan Bacon scored the lone Charger goal as the senior is now up to seven goals on the season.
“We played well in spurts, especially in the first half,” Charger coach Julie Hodges said. “We were able to play with a little possession and got several opportunities and numerous corners we couldn’t capitalize on. If we could have shifted the momentum, especially when it was 2-1 in the middle of the first half then it would have been interesting to see if we could have maintained. Danville is such a talented and experienced team, that it just wore us down.”
