HOW IT HAPPENED

• Lynchburg took a 2-1 lead in the 54th minute, her Old Dominion Athletic Conference-leading ninth of the season, on an assist from sophomore forward Emily Dudley (Westminster, Md.).

• The Hornets couldn't hold onto the lead, however, as Truskey scored twice late. Her 67th-minute goal tied the score at 2, and she found the cage again for the go-ahead goal after a penalty corner with 1:57 to play.
