            Salem, VA - The No. 4 ranked Lynchburg women's soccer team lost a close game to Emory University on Sunday, losing 2-1 in overtime in the Roanoke College Kickoff tournament. 

Lynchburg (1-1) scored first at the 11:39 mark of the first half with a goal from junior midfielder Brittany Klippstein (Springfield, VA/West Springfield).  Klippstein took the direct kick just outside of the box to give the Hornets the early lead.

Just six minutes in to the extra period, Emory junior Caroline Coates score off a rebound from a corner kick at the 96:30 mark to give Emory the win.  Hornet freshman Karsen Schottleutner (McKinney, TX/Ursuline Academy) had seven saves in the game. 

Lynchburg will return home to host Salisbury on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. to kick off the Shellenberger Soccer Classic.
