SALEM, VA – The second-ranked Lynchburg College women’s soccer team played to a 1-1 double overtime tie at Roanoke College Wednesday evening in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) contest.
After a scoreless first-half, freshman forward Katie Santos (Cheltenham, MD/Bishop Ireton) scored at 56:10 to give Lynchburg a 1-0 cushion.

In the closing three minutes on the game clock, Maroon keeper Lindsay Kooiman made three saves to send the contest into overtime.
The Hornets out-shot Roanoke 20-4 and held a 3-2 edge in corner kicks. Kooiman made 10 stops in net for RC (5-5-2/3-2-1 ODAC).
