Schmitt lifts Pioneers over Wittenberg in OT

Box Score LEXINGTON, Ky. - Transylvania's Elizabeth Schmitt scored from 18 yards out as time was running out in overtime Wednesday, giving the Pioneers a 2-1 win over  Wittenberg in non-conference women's soccer action at Hall Field.

Neither team could score in the first half or through the first 24 minutes of the second period. The Tigers got on the board first, getting a score from Sheryl Chambers from the top of the box at 66:07.

That margin held until Transy's Amy Ghibaudy (Lexington, Ky., Lex. Catholic) found the upper right corner from the left side at 80:46, tying the contest.

It stayed that way until Schmitt (Ft. Mitchell, Ky., Notre Dame Acad.)'s goal with just 20 seconds left in overtime. She scored on a deflection.
