After a dramatic three-game stretch, the EMU soccer women just ran on out juice by the second half of Saturday's ODAC opener at Washington & Lee.  The Royals trailed just 1-0 at the intermission before eventually falling 7-0 to the Generals in Lexington.

Eastern Mennonite entered the contest on the heels of three straight double overtime games.  Given that they only had two subs coming off the bench for today's game left the women stretched even thinner.

Washington & Lee, meanwhile, came in with a deep roster full of returners who played in last year's ODAC Championship game.  The Generals fired off 10 shots in the first half, but Becca Borg (Gig Harbor, Wash./Peninsula) picked out three saves, and the defensive line added a team save to keep things scoreless.  W&L finally broke onto the scoreboard in the 37th minute.

The start of the second half belonged to the home team as they attacked the net and built up to their final margin of victory with six more scores.

Borg finished with six saves as the Generals had a 22-0 control of the shots to end EMU's three-game unbeaten streak.

The Royals, now 2-3-1, step back out of conference play for the final time this season on Tuesday when they head to Ferrum.  Game time with the Panthers is 7:00pm.
