Stylc's eight goals not enough, Bishops fall to Hornets in OT

Rocky Mount, NC - Senior Allie Stylc (pictured) scored a season-high eight goals and added an assist, but it was not enough as her North Carolina Wesleyan lacrosse squad fell to Shenandoah University by a 13-12 score in overtime on Saturday.  The Bishops, who recognized Stylc and fellow senior Georgette Webster prior to the match, drop to 3-10 overall, 1-4 in the USA South.

With the game tied at 11-11 heading into the six-minute overtime period, SU's Courtney Beard and Kelly Matagiese both scored in the first three-minute session to give SU (4-7, 2-3 USA South) a two-goal advantage.

Stylc answered for the Bishops with a free position goal in the second three-minute OT period, causing the Hornets to go into a stall.

The Lady Bishops stole the ball and had an 8-meter shot to force a sudden-victory overtime period, but SU keeper Wendy Taylor stopped both the 8-meter shot and an ensuing attempt to preserve the victory.

Matagiese led the Hornets in scoring with six goals, while Arissa Myrick, Lauren Carpinello and Beard each added two goals.

Stylc's performance was complimented by Sarah Matulich's two goals and two assists.  Katelyn Guinn also added a goal and two assists.

Taylor stopped eight Bishops shots with her counterpart, Sarah Seligman, making 17 saves.

The Bishops wrap up USA South play on Tuesday at Averett University.  Match time is slated for 4:30 p.m. in Danville, VA.
