Hampton, Va. (Sept. 10, 2025) – The Virginia State Women's Soccer team traveled to Division I Hampton University and, despite scoring first, dropped the match 3-1 to the Pirates.

Loryn Sturgis recorded the only shot on goal for the Trojans in the first half, while goalkeeper Tianna Roberts saved all five shots that came her way. To start the second half, VSU fired off three shots—two went wide right and the third was blocked by a Pirate defender. In the 70th minute, Hampton had two chances to break through, but Roberts saved both the initial shot and the rebound.

In the 75th minute, Morgan Parris fired a left-footed shot and netted the first goal of the match. Just a minute later, however, the Pirates scored the equalizer to tie the game at 1-1. Hampton then added goals in the 82nd and 87th minutes to take control of the game.

Both Maya Cajchun and Roberts finished with eight saves each. Parris led the team with four shots, including two on goal.

With the loss, the Trojans fall to 0-2 on the season and will be back in action on Saturday, September 13, when they travel to Barton College. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
