Lynchburg Women's Soccer Falls To Emory University 1-0 in Overtime
LYNCHBURG, VA - The Lynchburg College women's soccer team fell to visiting Emory University (GA) 1-0 in sudden death overtime to open the Shellenberger Classic on Saturday.
A stellar performance by the Lynchburg defense held Emory scoreless for 101 minutes, but a foul in the box resulted in Emory receiving a penalty kick at 101:25 in overtime. Sarah Wilkerson put the penalty pick in the upper right corner to seal the win for Emory.
Hornet freshman goalie Jackie Bader (Fort Washington, MD/Bishop Ireton) turned back six shots. Emory held the Hornets to only one shot and also held a 2-1 advantage in corner kicks.
Lynchburg returns to the field tomorrow to face visiting Maryville College (TN) to conclude the Shellenberger Classic at 3:30 pm.
