HOUGHTON, NY – Despite jumping out to an early lead, the Houghton Highlanders dropped a home non-conference match to the Rochester Yellowjackets on Saturday afternoon, 4-1.
Bekah Davie scored off a feed from
Jace Hunzinger just over two minutes into the game, but the tied score nearly seven minutes later.
Houghton's defense stymied the Rochester attack throughout the second quarter and the teams enter the half still knotted at one goal apiece.
Eventually, though, the Yellowjackets attack broke through the Houghton defenses, taking the lead just under five minutes into the second quarter, and eventually tacking on two late insurance goals.
