Ricks, Monarchs Top WKU in OT Thriller
NORFOLK, Va. -- Kyra Ricks scored a golden goal in the 105th minute to lead the Old Dominion women's soccer team over WKU, 1-0, on Friday evening at the ODU Soccer Complex.
Ricks tapped in a rebound off of shot off the post by teammate Iris Achterhof with under six minutes remaining in the second overtime period to give Old Dominion (3-2-2, 1-0-0 C-USA) the victory in the opening game of Conference USA play for both squads.
"We are delighted to get the win," said head coach Angie Hind. "They are a good team and they make it so difficult for you. We had a lot of possession in the first half, but it is so difficult to break them down, because they are so deep, but we hung in there."
