The Senators trailed 1-0 at halftime and played well defensively.
Second-year Lady Senators coach Brooke Lee said her young squad has progressed throughout the season.
“We may have 10 seniors, but its a young team,” Lee said. “The girls are having a lot of fun and we’re progressing.”
Despite the losses, both Morgan Academy teams remain in contention to make the AISA State Soccer Tournament this season.
