Lee Rebounds From Loss With Lindsey Wilson Win

There is always a certain amount of pressure with winning streaks and unbeaten seasons.

Well, the pressure if off on the unbeaten season thing for Lee University, after the women’s soccer team dropped a 3-1 decision to Embry-Riddle.

The Lady Flames have won the last four NAIA national championships, and five of the last six, and they have their collective eyes on another one.

The loss dropped the Lady Flames to third in the NAIA national rankings, and what did they do to rebound?

They hung a 3-2 loss on #2 ranked Lindsey Wilson College in overtime.

Lee appeared to be on its way to a shutout victory when junior Leah Fortune scored the second of her two goals at the 55:49 mark, giving the Lady Flames a 2-0 lead.

But the Blue Raiders came roaring back to tie the game late in the second half, forcing overtime.

Freshman Marie Elisassen gave Lee the win as she ripped a cracker past Lindsey Wilson goalkeeper Loren Cerafice in sudden death OT.
