Box Score MARION, Ind. – In a contest that was called with 6:11 to play due to lightning, a pair of goals was all the Indiana Tech women's soccer team needed to defeat Indiana Wesleyan, 2-1, in the second game of the IWU Classic on Friday night.
The win is the first of the season for the Warriors, moving them to 1-2 on the season while the Wildcats fall to 1-3 in 2014.

Nicole Price netted the equalizer, her first of the season, in the 70th minute.
Tori Singstock sent a corner kick into the box, finiding the head of Price for the tie at 1.
