Playing without four injured starters, the Eastern Mennonite soccer women were no match for nationally-ranked Lynchburg on the road Friday night, coming home with an 8-0 loss.

The Hornets, ranked No. 13 in this week's national poll, showed why they improved to 15-1 as they frustrated EMU's offense and controlled play throughout.  LC scored five times in the first half, and then tacked on three more in the second.

The Royals had their best chances early in the second.  Morgan Hill (Martinsville, Va./Carlisle) had a shot blocked in the 51st minute, and Kristyn Garlow (Bristow, Va./Patriot) had a shot saved on the ensuring corner.  But that would be it for the women.

Becca Borg (Gig Harbor, Wash./Peninsula) made 10 saves in goal for EMU before finishing the game on the field.  Rachel Klainer (Leesburg, Va./Heritage) made three saves in relief.

EMU draws fourth-place Virginia Wesleyan for their final home game of the season on Tuesday.  Game time in Harrisonburg is 7:00pm.
