Virginia Wesleyan Knocks Off W&L Women's Soccer In ODAC Semifinals, 1-0

LEXINGTON, Va. -- Junior midfielder Laura Jackson (Elkton, Md./North East) scored the lone goal of the game as 24th-ranked Virginia Wesleyan upset the 15th-ranked Washington and Lee women soccer team in the semifinals of the 2006 ODAC Tournament, 1-0, on Wednesday afternoon in Lexington, Va.

Jackson's tally came early in the first half when she found the back of the net off a cross from freshman forward Jerilyn Idler (Bridgeville, Del./Woodbridge) in the 11th minute. The Marlins held on for the duration of regulation to give the Generals their first loss of the season.

Sophomore goalkeeper Kiki Moreo (Westport, Conn./Staples) made one save for W&L as she allowed just her second goal of the season, while junior Lindsey Williams (Princeton, N.J./W. Windsor-Plainsboro South) stopped five shots between the pipes for VWC.

With the win, the Marlins (15-3-2) advance to the 2006 ODAC Championship match and will take on Guilford on Saturday at 1:30 pm in Greensboro, N.C. The Generals fall to 16-1-2 overall and will find out on Sunday evening if they received an at-large bid to the 2006 NCAA Tournament.
