The Bulldogs traveled to Cowen Field on Sunday only to watch Providence break the deadlock at the 40:40 mark of the fourth quarter, a goal that set the tone for a 3-0 victory.
Sunday’s Result
Johanna Mahner converted a penalty corner to make it 2-0, and with less than a minute remaining Rhylee Givens added the final blow, sealing the win for the Friars and extending the Bulldogs’ struggles against their opponents.
Despite the loss, Bryant’s defense showed resilience, with Valentina Funes making two crucial saves and Sara DeSousa posting four stops in her first start of the season, underscoring the effort put in by the back line.
The setback dropped the Bulldogs to a 2-2 overall mark and extended their winless streak against Providence to nine encounters, a daunting 0-9 all-time record that highlights the challenge that lies ahead for the program.
Looking forward, Bryant will host Stonehill at Cowen Field on Friday, September 11, at 3:00 p.m., hoping to reverse the trend and regain momentum early in the season.
