No. 24 Lions Edge Lady Bucs in Double-Overtime

Caitlyn Donegan scored a 38th-minute equalizer, but the Lady Bucs dropped a double-overtime game 2-1 to No. 24 North Alabama Tuesday night at Collierville High School.
COLLIERVILLE—The combination of Nikki Brown and Chloe Roberts combined for both goals as No. 24 North Alabama edged the Christian Brothers University Lady Bucs 2-1 in double overtime Tuesday night in a key Gulf South Conference game at Collierville High School.

Roberts scored the game's first goal in the 30th minute when she converted on a Brown cross to put the Lions (11-1-1, 3-0 GSC) ahead 1-0.  The Lady Bucs (6-3-0, 1-1) knotted the game in the 38th minute as Caitlyn Donegan (Thibodaux, La./E.D. White HS) scored her eighth goal of the season off a cross from Laurel Shute (Knoxville, Tenn./West HS).

The game remained 1-1 the rest of regulation and through the first overtime, but Roberts scored the game-winner, her 20th of the season, in the 104th minute when she scored off the rebound of a Brown shot.

The Lions out-shot CBU 20-18, with both teams taking nine shots on goal.  Libby Hake (Fort Wayne, Ind./Canterbury HS) returned to the net for the Lady Bucs, making six saves, while Alex McLay made eight stops for the Lions.

The Lady Bucs conclude a treacherous week Saturday afternoon at 12:30 as they welcome defending national runner-up West Florida, the nation's top-ranked team, to Collierville for another GSC game.
