FAYETTE, Iowa - The Peacock women's soccer team (2-2-2, 0-1-1 GLVC) fell to Lewis (Ill.) (2-0-3, 1-0-1 GLVC) on Sunday afternoon. The Flyers used two first-half goals to get the victory. 

Lewis struck early in the game, scoring on the first shot in the eighth minute. Anna Dazey blocked a Peacock clear attempt and then passed the ball to the middle, where Caroline Hadler converted for the early goal. The Flyers then scored late in the half in the 44th minute on a penalty kick goal by Morgan Krupp. 

The Peacocks had three shots in the second half, but couldn't convert on any. Lewis controlled the game, outshooting UIU 12-5 and also had a 10-0 advantage on corner kicks. The Flyers had eight fouls while Upper Iowa committed seven. 

"We knew it was going to be tough after we fought hard for a draw against UIndy on Friday," said head coach Patrick Ritter. "We knew we were a little tired coming in, and we had to make some last-minute changes and put some players in some spots they haven't practiced before. The girls fought hard, but it just didn't go our way today."

Rhea Buchanan, Myriah Roybal and Natasha Toxqui each recorded a shot on goal for the Peacocks. Jessican Ancheta and Melanie Mejia each had a shot. Buchanan and Roybal both played the full 90 minutes. Sienna Johnson totaled four saves in the net for the Peacocks. 

UIU is back in action on the road against Quincy (Ill.) (3-1-2, 2-0-1 GLVC) on Friday, Sept. 26, at 5 p.m. The Peacocks then play Truman State (1-2-1, 1-1-0 GLVC) in Kirksville on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 2:30 p.m.
