MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The Blue Raiders (5-7-1, 2-2-0 C-USA) suffered a crushing overtime 3-2 defeat on Friday, coming from Old Dominion (8-3-2, 2-3-0 C-USA). The two Raider stalwarts Hannah Tillett and Peyton DePriest notched goals in the 5th and 70th minute respectively.

"This was a difficult loss for us," said head coach Aston Rhoden. "We led twice in the game but didn't do a good job of closing the game out. We will have to quickly put this game behind us and get ready for a strong Charlotte team on Sunday."

The first half was tightly contested by both teams with 1-1 left on the board after 45. The Blue Raiders quickly got on the score sheet after reigning C-USA Offensive Player of the Year Peyton DePriest pressured the Monarch box forcing a penalty kick. Hannah Tillett easily converts the PK giving the Raiders the early 1-0 lead, she is 9-9 in her career.
