MONTGOMERY, Ala. ---- The Auburn University at Montgomery women's soccer team had its season come to an end on Saturday, when it fell to cross-town rival Faulkner, 2-1, in the opening-round of the Southern States Athletic Conference Tournament at the AUM Soccer Complex.

The Warhawks finished the season with an 8-9-1 overall record, including a 7-4-1 mark in the highly-competitive SSAC. Faulkner improved to 12-6-1 on the season.

AUM held a commanding 14-7 advantage in total shots in the match. However, Faulkner jumped on the board in the 24th minute, when Jessica Monarch scored on a penalty kick for the lone scoring in the first half.

The Eagles went up 2-0 with 9:58 left in the contest, when Shanice Hart curled a shot just inside the post, despite AUM's goalkeeper Holly Clarke putting a hand on the shot.

The Warhawks cut the deficit in half with 4:24 remaining in the game on a goal by junior Karina Suetsugu. Senior K.C. Hewitt recorded an assist on the play, but AUM was unable to get any closer as Faulkner advanced in the tournament.
