Despite a strong effort against an opponent ranked in the top-10 nationally, the Emory University women's soccer team was unable to pick up a win, falling 1-0 to the University of Rochester in an overtime heartbreaker.

Rochester struck with just 17 seconds remaining in the first overtime period, scoring the ‘golden goal' to break the scoreless tie.  Each team took just six shots during the contest.

Emory's best opportunity of the day came halfway through the first overtime, when Olivia Lezanski took a shot from outside the box, but the Yellowjackets' goalkeeper was able to make the save.

Emory's defensive backline, consisting of Emily Rubin, Alyssa Perez, Lee Bachouros, and Ashley Kaiser, turned in one of their top performances of the season, aiding freshman goalkeeper Erica Stein in the second start of her career.  Stein, who played the entire game, is now 1-1-0 this season with a 0.41 goals against average. 

Emory fell below .500 with the loss, dropping to 4-5-5 on the campaign, and to 0-3-2 in UAA matches.  Rochester, ranked 10^th in the nation, improved to 11-3-2 overall with a 4-1-0 in-conference record.

The Eagles will look to end a three-game losing streak on Sunday, as Emory will travel to Cleveland, OH to face Case Western Reserve University in its final conference road match of the season.
