LEXINGTON, Va. -- The Washington and Lee women's soccer team tied Christopher Newport, 1-1, after two scoreless overtimes in non-conference action Saturday at the Liberty Hall Fields. W&L sophomore goalkeeper Emily Barker (Clifton, Va./Mount Vernon) saved a penalty shot by junior midfielder Shelley Rusnak (Arlington, Va./York) at the 82:26 mark to preserve the tie.

W&L (1-1-1) opened the scoring when senior midfielder Jenny Thomas (High Point, N.C./Central) took a centering pass from freshman midfielder Kerry Giblin (Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J./Northern Highlands) and found the back of the net at 40:23.

However, the Lady Captains (3-1-1) answered in the second half when freshman midfielder Ashleigh Dota (Woodbridge, Va./Hylton) made a long run into the Generals' territory and beat Barker for the goal.

The last scoring threat came when Rusnak was dropped in the Generals' box, setting up the penalty kick.

Barker made six saves in goal for the Generals, while CNU freshman netminder Erin Pollack (Midlothian, Va./Midlothian) made three saves.

The Generals return to the field on Wednesday when they travel to Lynchburg for a 4:00 pm match.
