Box Score SEWANEE, Tenn. (Oct. 26, 2014) – A goal by sophomore Shelby Meckstroth in overtime, lifted the Sewanee women's soccer team to a 2-1 win over Southern Athletic Association (SAA) rival Birmingham-Southern, Sunday, at Puett Field.

Only three minutes later, Sewanee responded back. Tyler Edell tipped in a long pass that was sent into the box for the equalizer.
Both teams would continue to battle into overtime when senior Jamie Samociuk ripped a shot that bounced off BSC keeper Ansley Tomlin. On the ensuing rebound, Meckstroth netted the game-winner.
