HARRISONBURG, Va. - College of Charleston forward Laura Ortega scored in the eighth minute of the second overtime period on Thursday night to hand James Madison a tough 1-0 loss in Colonial Athletic Association women's soccer action at Sentara Park. The Dukes fell to 7-7 (2-3 CAA) in the loss, while Charleston improved to 6-5-1 (1-2-1 CAA).

JMU held a 14-12 edge in shots for the contest, but the Cougars racked up four shots in the second overtime period itself, while the Dukes did not have an attempt. Junior Stephanie Hendrie racked up a match-high four shots in the loss, while junior Brittany Borum and sophomore Haley Crawford each tallied two, putting all their attempts on frame.

HOW THEY SCORED
108' | Ortega pushed in the game-winner with just 2:38 left on the clock after Alyssa Beck had her close-range shot saved. The rebound fell directly to Ortega, who was able to finish from inside the six-yard box.

MATCH NOTES
- The Dukes tallied double-digit shots in a match for the 12th time in their 14 matches this season and have not had fewer than eight shots in any contest. Dating back to 2016, the Dukes have posted double-digit shots in 28 of their last 30 matches.
- Nine different JMU players tallied at least one shot on the evening, despite the Dukes using just five subs.

QUOTING COACH LOMBARDO
"Tonight was a hard one to take. Our defense played a tremendous game; Hailey Stein and Maia Foley played some of their best soccer as Dukes tonight. Our offense has gone off the boil of late; we're creating a ton of chances, but haven't found that player who will step up and finish. We have to right the ship on Sunday at Hofstra."
