KENNESAW, Ga. – The Kennesaw State University soccer team lost a tight contest in overtime of a conference clash against the Lipscomb Bisons Sunday afternoon at the Fifth Third Bank Stadium.

The Owls (5-7-0, 4-3-0 ASUN Conference) equalized late when freshman forward Tianna Rivera pushed up field and delivered a crucial pass in the final attacking third to sophomore midfielder Becky Contreras. Then, she assisted a magical Erin Harris goal. The senior scored one-on-one in the goalie box. 

Overtime ended with an early Bisons (6-2-1, 5-0-1) golden goal from midfielder Cami Rogers in the 92^nd minute.

Owls redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Dylan Pixton kept the Bisons from finding the back of the net with five crucial saves in a scoreless first half. She finished with nine.

KSU in the first half failed to capitalize on a few, but critical attacking positions early. Owls senior forward Erin Harris missed a header wide right on a beautifully crossed ball by senior forward Kameron Downs in the 23^rd minute.

The Owls appeared to take the lead in the second half when redshirt-junior forward Kendall Higgs drilled the back of the net from a cross made by senior midfielder Kendall Baker, but was called off for offside.

The Bisons broke the scoreless contest when forward Rogers scored unassisted in the 71^st minute.

The match featured many shots, including 18 by Lipscomb and 15 by KSU. Harris led the Owls with six shots and four of the team's five on goal.
