ATLANTA, Ga. –The Case Western Reserve University women's soccer team dropped a tough 2-1 decision in overtime to No. 6 Emory University on Sunday, October 31 after leading 1-0 for the majority of regulation. The game-winner for EU came in the 92nd minute as the Spartans fell to 9-7-1 overall and 1-5 in the University Athletic Association with the loss.

With the overtime win, Emory improves to 14-1-3 with a 4-1-2 record in the UAA.

Case got on the board in the 28th minute when Kendra Simmons (Medina, OH/Walsh Jesuit) scored off a header following a corner by Devyn Lee (Pennsylvania Furnace, PA/State College). The set play led to Simmons' team-leading eighth goal of the season, while Lee got credit for her fifth assist of the year.

The Spartans would hold onto a 1-0 advantage until the 73rd minute when Emory's Lee Bachouros found the net for her first goal of the season, but the two teams battled to a stalemate for the rest of regulation.

EU's Kelly Costopoulos then nailed the game-winner from inside the box in the 92nd minute to seal the win.

Junior goalkeeper Anna Kennedy (Evanston, IL/Evanston Township) played a fantastic match in net for the Spartans, saving nine shots as Emory held an 11-3 advantage in shots on goal. Emory also edged Case, 6-2, in corners.
