On Sunday afternoon Lipscomb women’s soccer hosted the Alabama Crimson Tide for a non-conference matchup. After a quiet 90 minutes of regulation, the Tide prevailed with a golden goal victory, 1-0, in the 93rd minute. Combined in regulation Lipscomb and Alabama combined for a total of four shots on goal with the Bisons holding the advantage 3-1. Junior midfielder Kelli Beiler, who has been off to a hot start for the Bisons since transferring in from Penn State, had the Bisons’ best opportunity off of a corner kick by junior midfielder Emily Patti, but a masterful save by junior goalkeeper McKinley Crone kept the game scoreless. Alabama started off overtime with two quick shots on goal. Lipscomb senior goalkeeper Melissa Gray picked up her second save of the afternoon against freshman midfielder Kate Henderson, but less than two minutes later sophomore midfielder Reyna Reyes scored off of an assist from sophomore defender Bella Scaturro. The Lady Bisons fall to 3-2 on the season and are set to host Liberty and put their perfect conference record on the line Thursday night at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
