WESTFIELD, Ind. – The No. 16 Northeast Community College women's soccer team was back in Westfield, Indiana Sunday for a battle with No. 17 Rock Valley College. The Hawks dropped the back-and-fourth affair by a final score of 3-2.

Northeast (0-2) jumped on the scoreboard first in the 24th-minute as Hailey Holbroook (Broomfield, Colo.) scored her first goal of the season with an assist from Amelia Bingley (Melbourne, Australia). The Eagles scored twice soon after before Emma Brilleman (Diepenveen, Netherlands) recorded the first goal of her career with the Hawks in the 60th-minute.
