SEWANEE, Tenn. (Oct. 23, 2011) – After playing a close physical match throughout regulation and one overtime period, the Sewanee women's soccer team lost in heartbreaking fashion as SCAC rival Rhodes dropped the Tigers 1-0 Sunday afternoon at Puett Field.

The lone Rhodes goal came just two minutes into the second overtime period after midfielder Ashley Ladd settled the ball just outside the 18 and fired home the game-winner.
