A pair of goals on consecutive possessions by visiting College of Lake County were the difference makers in the Chaparrals' 2-1 loss in their home opener Wednesday in NJCAA Region 4 women's soccer.
Â
COD (1-2, 1-2 Region 4) competes at Madison on Saturday. Kickoff is 3:15 p.m.
Â
The Chaparrals controlled the tempo and momentum in the first half and their work paid off when
Asa Potts found an open
Veronica Helma, who one-timed her shot in goal for a 1-0 lead in the 38
th minute.
Â
But the visiting Lancers scored goals in the 60
th and 63
