HUNTINGDON, Pa.- The Juniata women's soccer team came up just short in their home opener as Chatham stole a 2-1 win with a goal in the 88^th minute, Thursday evening at Gibbel Stadium. 

The Cougars broke through 19 minutes into the contest when a softly cleared cross bounced to a Chatham defender, who lobbed it into the right side of the goal. 

Juniata controlled the next 10 minutes, winning two corners and getting a shot off as a Mariah McDonald header went over the goal. 

An offside call in the final five minutes of the first half prevented a dangerous opportunity for Chatham as the Eagles went into the half down 1-0. 

In the second, the offense picked up for the Eagles as they managed four in the second half before they found a game-tying goal in the 83^rd minute. 

Ashley McWilliams sent a ball in off a corner, and Helen Chavez headed it home to make it 1-1. 

A few minutes later, the Cougars found a winner in the 88^th minute on a blast from outside the box that went over the outstretched hands of Cati Besch.  

Juniata will look to rebound this Saturday at Westminster at 5:00.
