SWARTHMORE, Pa. - The Bryn Mawr soccer team closed out their 2015 campaign with a tough trip down to Swarthmore earlier Thursday night. The Owls faced a difficult task, taking on the top team in the Centennial Conference, but Bryn Mawr hung in and continued to battle the entire 90 minutes. Aviva Kosansky had a splendid final game as senior goalkeeper for the Owls, racking up nine saves on the evening. The rest of the Bryn Mawr senior class also put in a fantastic final shift, but it was not enough get the Owls the upset, as Swarthmore rode their home field advantage and a deep bench to a 6-0 victory on the night.

The Garnet (14-1-1, 8-0-1 CC) got on the board twice in the first ten minutes, starting the game in lightning fashion. Bryn Mawr (3-14, 1-9 CC) managed to keep Swarthmore at bay right out of the gate with two quick saves, but the hosts' Katie Dougherty finally broke through on the Garnet's third shot of the night. In fact, it was Dougherty who scored both of Swarthmore's first two goals of the game, giving her ten goals on the season.

Bryn Mawr tried to respond right away, and were able to break out of their end and get some possession following that second goal. In the 15th minute, the Owls worked the ball onto the feet of Veronica Roux, and the senior forward was able to get some space away from her defender. The talented front line player ripped a shot towards the Swarthmore goal, but keeper Reba Magier was positioned perfectly and was able to collect the effort and keep the Owls off the board.

Bryn Mawr would get another good look at goal midway through the second half. The Owls strung together a great set of passes through the midfield, and ultimately got the ball to Katherine Nickols. The junior drilled a shot from distance, but her effort sailed just wide of the post and ended the Owls best scoring chance of the second half. Meanwhile, Swarthmore's offense continued to bang on all cylinders, as the hosts would score four more times in the contest to clinch the 6-0 win.

The Owls close out the season with a 3-14 record, and the team's nine seniors go out having won 14 games in their career, including big conference wins over McDaniel, Washington College, and perhaps most impressively, Franklin & Marshall.
