Women's Soccer Team Falls To Agnes Scott 1-0 In Overtime

In its fourth overtime match of the season, the Piedmont College women's soccer team was defeated tonight by visiting Great South Athletic Conference member Agnes Scott College 1-0 in overtime. In a closely contested defensive struggle, ASC was able to find the golden goal six minutes into overtime.

The loss drops Piedmont to 4-6-1 overall and 3-3-0 in GSAC play while Agnes Scott moves to 6-3-0 overall and 5-1-0 in conference matches. The Lady Lions are now 0-3-1 in overtime contests for the season.

With both teams unwilling to concede shots on goal, Scottie Hannah Scarborough found a loose ball and converted the game-winner at the 96th minute. Both teams were able to manage five shots on goal apiece but PC could not find the back of the net.

Erin Porter was solid between the posts saving four shots on goal and making two match-preserving saves with time winding down in the second half. In an extremely physical match there were 24 combined penalties assesed and four yellow cards issued.
