Box Score CEDARVILLE, Ohio - Hannah Atkinson's goal three minutes into the second overtime gave the Lady Jackets a 1-0 result over Trevecca in the G-MAC opener for both sides.

The freshman from Wheaton, Ill. outworked two Trojan defenders for the ball and tucked it inside the left post from 10 yards out in the 103rd minute.

It was not only Atkinson's first collegiate goal, but it was the first shot of her young career.

Defending G-MAC champion Cedarville improves to 1-2 while giving new head coach Jonathan Meade his first victory at the University.

TNU, 1-2, had the better part of the stat sheet. The visitors had more shots overall, 19-8, and on goal, 5-4.

Starting goalkeeper Hanna Harris made one save in the first half while Allison Garlock went the rest of the way with four stops.

Quotable: Head Coach Jonathan Meade

"We have to give a lot of credit to Trevecca. They gave us so much to handle and we had to dig down so deep to come up with that victory today.

"They're a very good team and I'm proud of my players that they were able to pull it out.

"Both Hanna (Harris) and Allison (Garlock) were superb in the goal. Goalkeepers can win you games and they certainly did that tonight.

"We changed it up just a little bit in the second overtime and that made the little difference that we needed."
