MARION, Ind. - No. 14 Indiana Wesleyan women's soccer fought hard but came up short against a strong No. 4-ranked University of the Cumberlands team. A penalty goal from Ashley Townsend wasn't enough firepower to motivate the team in the 61st minute as the Wildcats reached the final whistle down 3-1. The Wildcats will be traveling to Michigan on Tuesday to face Madonna University.
