Senior Carrie Keagy (Washington Boro, Pa.) scored the games only goal two minutes into the first period to lift the Eastern Mennonite University women's soccer team over Lynchburg College 1-0 Saturday afternoon in the quarterfinal round of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Championships.

EMU improves to 13-4 overall while Lynchburg ends its season with a 6-12 record.

Lynchburg led EMU in shots 18-5 and also in corner kicks 14-7 but was unable to get past the strong Lady Royal defense led by senior goalkeeper Joy Shaiebly (Lancaster, Pa.). Shaiebly finished the game with a season-high nine saves while Lynchburg keeper Ashley Stern tallied two saves in the loss.

Keagy gave the Lady Royals the early 1-0 lead on a sliding kick, assisted by sophomore Kelsey Yoder (Canby, Ore.) that rolled just past a diving Stern on the far left post. The EMU defense took it from there, shutting down the Hornets offense for the next 88 minutes to seal the 1-0 win.

The Lady Royals will now travel down to Guilford, N.C. on Wednesday, November 1 to take on the Quakers of Guilford College in the semi-final round of the ODAC Championships. Game time is set for 2:30 p.m.
