Lady Tops drop 3-2 overtime decision to Charlotte

Charlotte scored in the 96th minute to secure a 3-2 overtime win over host Western Kentucky in Conference USA women’s soccer Thursday.

“Credit to Charlotte,” WKU coach Jason Neidell said in a news release. “It stings, but they came in with a really good game plan and they executed their game plan.”

Ambere Barnett scored WKU’s 600th program goal a little over two minutes into the match for a 1-0 lead. A pass from Avery Jacobsen caught Barnett inside the box and the Charlotte keeper off-guard.

In the 59th minute, Charlotte (7-3, 2-1 C-USA) evened the score.
