BEL AIR, Md. - A matchup against the two top teams in the conference, Division I's No. 5 Harford Fighting Owls and Division III's No. 1 MC-Rockville Knights, went the way of the visiting team on Tuesday, when the Knights connected on their second penatly kick off the night for a 1-0 win over the Fighting Owls.

Rockville's win ended Harford's 16-match unbeaten streak at home, and gave the Fighting Owls (9-1-0, 4-1-0) their first loss since last season's national tournament. Freshman goalkeeper Audrey Baldwin made a career-best six saves in the effort, but she was unable to stop Rockville's (13-0-0, 5-0-0) second penalty shot of the evening. Imani Pierre sent the freebie to the low left post in the game's 60th minute.

In the first half, Rockville's first penalty shot clanged off the side post and the rebound effort was knocked away to preserve a scoreless first 45.

Overall, Harford out shot Rockville 13-10, while the Knights had seven shots on goal to Harford's six. The Fighting Owls were also called for 21 fouls and four yellow cards (doubling the total yellow's of the entire season), and Rockville was whistled for 10 fouls and two yellows in the physical contest.

The Fighting Owls return to action in a rematch of last season's Region XX Championship when Anne Arundel travels to Harford Stadium for an Oct. 12 contest at 6 p.m. The Fighting Owls already defeated Anne Arundel 3-1 earlier this season.
