FROSTBURG, Md. – Junior Holly Van Wie scored in the second half for Frostburg State but a high energy second period couldn't rally the Bobcats as they fell 3-1 to St. Mary's (Md.), Saturday.
 
The Seahawks (6-5, 1-0) carried a 1-0 cushion into the locker room after Brooke Steinhoff scored off a rebounded shot in the 34^th minute.
 
St. Mary's found the net again just 4:05 into the second half, this time as Sophie Michel scored from the right side of the 18 for a 2-0 lead.
 
Van Wie and the Bobcats answered less than three minutes later. She collected a saved shot from sophomore Logan Gladden and knocked home the goal as Frostburg cut the Seahawks lead in half at 2-1.
 
The goal energized the Bobcats as they attempted eight shots before St. Mary's scored its third goal. Junior Cara Morrell registered back-to-back shots in 50:25 and 50:30, but both were saved by Alyssa Thompson.
 
Less than 30 seconds later, freshman Gabby Rachuba had a shot turned away by Thompson and Morrell had two more shots saved to keep things at 2-1.
 
In the 58^th minute, St. Mary's gave itself a little breathing room when Mollie Belson dribbled on net and scored the visitors third goal of the afternoon.
 
Morrell and senior Ivy Meissner led the Bobcats (3-7, 0-1) with four shots each and all four attempts were on goal. Van Wie finished with two shots and her team-leading fifth goal of the campaign.
 
Senior keeper Nicole Leighty made eight saves, while the Seahawks' Thompson finished with 12. Despite the loss, the Bobcats outshot St. Mary's 15-13.
 
The Bobcats return to action tomorrow afternoon when they host Shenandoah at 3:00 pm.
