HARRISONBURG, Va., Sept. 21, 2007 -- Senior Annie Lowry (Butler, Pa./Butler) scored a goal and had two assists to lead James Madison (6-1-0) to a 3-0 win over American (6-3-0) in women's soccer Friday evening at the JMU Soccer Complex.

Tisinger passed the ball into the box to sophomore Morven Ross (Chapel Hill, N.C./East Chapel Hill), who scored her first career goal on a three-yard shot.

Tisinger scored the third goal on a header off a cross from Lowry with 5:59 remaining.
