STORM LAKE, Iowa (Oct. 10, 2026) - The Buena Vista women's soccer team was back at home inside of J. Leslie Rollins Stadium on Saturday afternoon to host the University of Dubuque in American Rivers Conference action, but the Beavers came up on the short end of a hard fought, 3-0 loss.

Dubuque put the pressure on the Beaver defense throughout most of the game, but BVU stood up to the challenge throughout the day. The Spartans, who had eight first half shot attempts, broke threw and erased the 0-0 tie with a goal midway through the opening half en route to a 1-0 lead. BVU was held without a shot in the second half while the Spartans tacked two more goals over the final 19 minutes.

The Spartans totaled 20 shots in the contest with 14 coming on-goal. Junior Maia Jaroch went the distance in-goal for the Beavers and turned in 11 saves and now has 216 in her career which moves her into ninth on the program's all-time list.

Buena Vista is now 2-7-1 overall (0-2 A-R-C) and travels to Wartburg College (5-5-2, 0-2 A-R-C) on Tuesday, Oct. 13 for a 5 p.m. kickoff.
