The UFV Cascades women's soccer team dropped a 3-0 decision to the University of Saskatchewan Huskies on Friday at Exhibition Field in Chilliwack. 

The loss drops the Cascades record to 4-2-2 on the season after playing their first seven matches on the road. Meanwhile, the Huskies improve to 5-2 so far this year. 

How it happened:
Despite the Cascades controlling the bulk of the play in the early parts of the first half, it was the Huskies that would strike first. After Cascades' keeper Kareena Sahota turned a shot from Cheyenne Lehman away over the end line, the ensuing corner kick from Jade Houmphanh found its way directly into the net to give the visitors a lead in the 25^th minute. 

The Huskies would double their lead just before halftime, as a shot from Alyssa D'Agnone forced a rebound in the box and Lehman pounced to bury it.

D'Agnone got on the end of a Houmphanh free kick in the 49^th minute, powering a volley into the goal to seal it for Saskatchewan. 

The Cascades poured the pressure on late, pushing defender Alanna Sydenham forward to try to get on the board. Despite the added numbers upfront, UFV would run out of time and the game ended 3-0. 

Quotable:
UFV head coach Ari Adams
"We have had such a good run on the road, and it just didn't translate into this game. I think this is really the r=first time we have been down by a couple goals and it's definitely a learning curve. We just have to bounce back and regroup and come with a plan on Sunday."

"A couple mistakes put us down today, but Alanna [Sydenham] is always bringing a lot of energy to the team – she brings that energy wherever she is on the field - and players need to feed off that, regardless if we're up a goal or down a goal."

Up Next:
The Cascades now turn their focus to Sunday, as they host the University of Regina in Abbotsford. Kickoff is set for 10:30am at Rotary Stadium. The Huskies continue their road swing, as they will face the Trinity Western Spartans on Saturday.
