CONCORD, New Hampshire— The Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) women's soccer team fell short in its Yankee Small College Conference (YSCC) match between New Hampshire Technical Institute (NHTI) 4-0 in Concord, N.H. on Thursday, Sept. 9.

NHTI's Cealia Sartwell opened up the scoring with a chip from inside the box at the 24-minute mark. New Hampshire struck again when Alexis Duclos connected from 20-yards. NHTI held a 2-0 lead at the half.

Shannon Hart, of NHTI, scored a pair of second half goals to seal a 4-0 victory for her team. The game was called in the 70^th minute due to inclement weather conditions.
