Bridgeport, Conn. – The University of Bridgeport women's soccer team defeated the visiting Holy Family University Tigers, 3-0, in their Homecoming match on Saturday afternoon at Knights Field.

Sophomore Maegen Doyle (Harwich, England) opened the scoring off a free kick at the 12:26 mark, and senior Ariana Weingrad (Hicksville, NY) followed with another goal roughly four minutes later off the assist from freshman Amanda Ebbesson (Solna, Sweden).
