SOCCER
CONCORDIA TOPS BYUH
Concordia (Irvine, Calif.) took advantage of a flagrant penalty by Brigham Young-Hawai'i to post a 2-1 victory yesterday in a women's soccer match at La'ie.
The Seasiders (0-1-1) took a 1-0 lead in the 38th minute on Jill Haar's goal.
However, in the final minute of the half, a BYUH player was given a red card for grabbing a Concordia player's jersey from behind in the corner of the 18-yard box. The BYUH player was ejected and Concordia made the ensuing penalty kick to tie it 1-1.
Despite being a player down, BYUH managed to contain Concordia (1-0) in the second half until the visitors scored the go-ahead goal in the 85th minute.
