BRONX, N.Y. —  Freshman Bethany Perez (Phelan, Calif./Serrano) scored the lone goal for St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) in a 3-1 loss to Lehman College on Saturday afternoon.

The Bears (3-2-1) suffer their second straight defeat after going unbeaten over the first four while the Lightning (2-2) level their record back to .500.
