Batten Stay Unbeaten as Regional Soccer Weekend Unfolds

Batten recover against Washington and Lee

The report says Batten fought back for a 1-1 draw against Washington and Lee in Lexington. The Generals controlled much of the contest, finishing with 16 attempts to Batten’s eight, and moved ahead when Maren Brown scored in the 35th minute.

Batten’s response came late. Sustained pressure reportedly forced an own goal in the 77th minute, while goalkeeper Allie Greco made seven saves to protect the point.

The result leaves Batten unbeaten at 10-0-4, including 5-0-2 in Old Dominion Athletic Conference play. Washington and Lee is listed at 11-0-2 overall and 6-0-1 in conference action.

Christopher Newport makes chances count

Christopher Newport reportedly defeated Bridgewater 2-0, turning decisive moments into a seventh victory of the season.

Anaya Lozano opened the scoring in the 35th minute, before Caelyn LaFlamme added the second in the 71st. Amy Sidaway made three saves, and the clean sheet helped Christopher Newport move to 7-1-3.

Bridgewater entered the match with 10 wins, making the result a useful statement for Christopher Newport’s defensive organisation and efficiency in front of goal.

William and Mary hold Charleston

In the men’s fixture, William and Mary reportedly recovered quickly to draw 1-1 at the College of Charleston. Arnau Olle put Charleston ahead in the 25th minute, but freshman Brown Huffard equalised nine minutes later.

Huffard’s goal was his team-leading seventh of the season. The draw leaves William and Mary at 7-5-2 and Charleston at 7-3-4, with both still navigating tight Coastal Athletic Association campaigns.

The next storyline is Christopher Newport’s postponed home meeting with Mary Washington, which the report says is expected to be rearranged for Halloween weekend.
