Savannah, Ga. – Lynn University's women's soccer team looked for the upset Sunday afternoon but was turned away by fifth-ranked Armstrong Atlantic 2-0.  The two squads equaled shots, 11-11, but two goals off restarts were the difference in the final game of the Holiday Inn Express Savannah Midtown Pirate Shootout.

"This was a great game to gauge where our team is at," said head coach Chip Dutchik.  "I found that we are an extremely athletic team that is good enough to compete at the national level.  We just have to keep growing as a team and great things are going to happen.  Overall, I was proud of the effort all of the ladies put forth for the entire weekend."

The Fighting Knights (1-1-0) nearly gained the upper-hand in the opening half when a shot by Meghan Dolan from 25-yards out smacked the crossbar.  Emma Portsmouth was there for the put back but the freshman forward pushed her attempt just wide.

A scoreless game  was snapped just minutes into the second half following a set piece from the Pirates (2-0-2)  Erin Berube slipped a pass through the middle of the defense and Sarah Olin was there to put her shot past keeper Caitlin Shaver.

Lynn continued to press on but the team's momentum was halted by an hour and a half lightning delay.  Once the two teams return to play, the Pirates were able to strike quickly off a free kick to put the match away.

Shaver turned away four shots while her counterpart in goal, Morgan Luckie, also stopped four attempts.

The Fighting Knights return to the pitch on Wednesday, September 18, at 7:30 p.m. in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., when they battle Nova Southeastern in a non-conference match-up.  Fans can catch all the action live at LynnFightingKnights.com.  Don't forget to 'Like' us on Facebook and follow @LUKnights on Twitter, Instagram and Vine.
