LYNCHBURG, Va. -- The Christopher Newport University women's soccer team held 12th-ranked Lynchburg College (16-2-1) to just one goal for over sixty minutes, but the Hornets broke through twice in four minutes in the second half for the 3-0 win.

CNU falls to 7-7-1 overall this year with the setback and will wrap up the regular season with a pair of conference games this weekend.

Lynchburg opened the scoring in just the ninth minute of action when Dessi Dupuy headed in a score off a corner kick for the eventual gamewinner. The Captains defense held tough the rest of the first half despite being outshot 12-3, with four shots on-goal. Junior goalkeeper Meghan Gumbs made three saves in the first half to hold the lead to just one goal.

In the second half, LC continued to push, outshooting the Captains 9-1. A CNU own goal in the 61st minute gave the Hornets a 2-0 lead, and Jessica Mader posted an unassisted tally less than four minutes later for the final, 3-0.

Christopher Newport got shots from four different players, as Kendall Dishaw, Emma O'Reilly, Julie Jennings and Joy Piirto all took one shot for the Captains.

Gumbs made six saves in the loss, allowing three goals while facing 21 shots.

CNU returns to action at N.C. Wesleyan this Friday at 4:00 pm in USA South action.
