CHARLESTON, S.C. --- The College of Charleston women's soccer team battled Kennesaw State into a second overtime period before the Owls escaped with a 2-1 victory on Thursday night at Ralph Lundy Field at Patriots Point.

After a scoreless first half, the Owls (1-2-0) took the lead in the 80^th minute when Kathryn Schreck converted a free kick from just outside the box. It only took the Cougars (0-2-1) three minutes to gain the equalizer when a foul in the box led to a successful Grace Powell penalty kick.

Kennesaw State then tallied the golden goal just over a minute into the second extra session when Lexi Labonte emerged from a scramble in front of the net to give the Owls the victory.
