YORK, Pa. - A comeback bid by Wesley College came up short as the Wolverines fell on the road at York (Pa.) in the first round of the CAC women's soccer playoffs 3-2.

The Spartans (14-4-1) led just 1-0 at the half after a goal by Erin Mummert midway through the 13th minute.  The lead swelled to 2-0 just 1:19 into the second half, however, on a goal by Kat Torode.
