Harrogate, Tenn. – Presbyterian scored the first goal of the match in the first 10 minutes of the game, but allowed three unanswered goals – including two by Heloisa de Oliveira – to fall 3-1 to Lincoln Memorial.
Clair Joyce netted the Blue Hose goal at the 7:57 mark on a breakaway after getting a long pass from teammate Ginny Wolfe.
With the score 1-0 in favor of the Blue Hose going into the 15th-minute, Lincoln Memorial’s Oliveira garnered her ninth goal of the season to square the game at 1-1.
