Romeoville, Ill. – The Lewis University women's soccer team found the back of the net twice but fell in overtime 3-2 to William Jewell on Sunday (Oct. 20) at Lewis Stadium.
 
William Jewell's Ashley Licata scored the game-winner in the seventh minute of overtime (96:20), putting in a shot from the 10-yard line.

WJC's Kate Beaver put the Cardinals on the board first at 13:20 when her shot got past Lewis goalkeeper Arianna Nie (Mokena, Ill./Lincoln-Way East), after Licata played the ball up the field to her. Nie collected six saves.
 
Lewis sophomore forward Maggie Moran (Arlington Heights, Ill./Rolling Meadows) registered the equalizer in the 28th minute after Daniella DiGioia (Roselle, Ill./Lake Park) sent cross from the far side of the field. Junior Jennie Coughlon (Peoria, Ill./Peoria Notre Dame) headed DiGioia's pass and Moran spun pass her defender to get a touch for the score.

"As well as we might be doing in terms of attacking and creating chances, we can't give up three goals," Lewis head women's soccer coach Chris Koenig said. "We let them back in right after we scored."
