Box Score

HARRISONBURG, Va., Sept. 16, 2012 -- An overtime header by redshirt junior Taylor Rovito (Cary, N.C./Green Hope) lifted visiting Charlotte (5-3-1) to a 1-0 win over James Madison (2-6-0) in women's soccer Sunday afternoon at University Park.

Rovito headed the ball into the net at the far post off a corner kick from sophomore Amanda Jones (Mahwah, N.J./Saddle River Day). The winning goal came 4:21 into the 10-minute sudden-death overtime period.

JMU, which lost by a single goal for the fifth time this season, dropped its fifth straight match. The Dukes were shut out for only the third time this fall.

Game Highlights
First Half:
* Charlotte freshman Maddie Kiebel (Parker, Colo./Chaparral) shoots from inside the box; the ball is cleared off the line by JMU freshman Kelly Kerrigan (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East), 23:05.
* Charlotte junior Dakota Olson (Las Vegas, Nev./Arbor View) lofts a shot from near the right touchline from 35 yards out; JMU redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Kate Courter (Lincoln Park, N.J./Immaculate Heart) leaps to make the save, 27:20.
* JMU redshirt senior Kelly Germain (McLean, Va./Langley) hits a shot from 12 yards out to the left side of the goal; save is made by Charlotte junior goalkeeper Alex Kubrick (Greensboro, N.C./Ragsdale), 30:49.
* JMU junior Lauren Wilson (Coatesville, Pa./Downingtown) controls a ball in the box but is surrounded by three defenders and cannot get a shot off, 36:41.
* Charlotte sophomore Sara Trexler (Parkland, Fla./Cardinal Gibbons) has a wide-open shot from the right side of the box on an open net and hits the left post, 39:26.
Second Half:
* A 25 yard shot by sophomore Stephanie Hamilton (Coronado, Calif./Coronado) is saved by Kubrick, 54:29.
