Blue Jays bested in second half in 4-1 loss to Principia

It was all tied at one Tuesday in Principia after a Westminster's Mustekbel Shoune goal in the 43rd minute. Then Principia went off in the second half.

In a game where the shots were even, Principia had more impactful shots in the second half as the Panthers three goals in the period were enough to defeat Westminster 4-1.

Principia (2-7-1, 2-6-1 SLIAC) took the lead in the 16th minute and held until Shoune scored his second goal in as many games off Barrett Smith's assist.

While the Blue Jays (3-8-2, 3-5-1 SLIAC) equaled the Panthers with 10 shots, Principia had seven shots on goal compared with Westminster's two as three of those seven managed to find the back of the net. The Panthers scored in the 46th minute and then added some insurance goals late in the 75th and 88th minutes.

Smith was the only other Blue Jay with a shot on goal while three others finished with two shots. Toby Hughes played all 90 minutes and made three saves.

Westminster has a game at 5 p.m. Saturday at home against Fontbonne.
