ORANGE, Calif. - Two goals apiece by Melanie Gaither of George Fox University and Kate Lilly of Chapman University, followed by 61 minutes of scoreless play, resulted in a 2-2 double-overtime tie between the visiting Bruins and the home-standing Panthers in a non-conference women's soccer match Monday night here at Wilson Field.

The Panthers jumped on the board quickly, scoring their first goal of the season at the 3:45 mark as Lilly took a pass from Aimee Evans along the right wing and found the lower left corner of the net for her 20th career goal and first of the season.  That lead held until the 28th minute when Gaither pocketed her first goal of the season to even the score off a pass from Corin Beaudry.

However, the Panthers responded a mere 18 seconds later.  Immediately following the kickoff, Lilly scored her second goal of the game, unassisted, and Chapman regained a 2-1 advantage which they maintained until halftime. The goal gave Lilly 52 career points, moving her into a tie for 10th all-time in Chapman history.

Four minutes into the second half, Gaither scored again, this time with an assist from Shannon Olson, to make it 2-2.  It was to be the final goal of the game as the teams battled on scoreless terms through 41 more minutes and 20 minutes of overtime play.

Chapman had its chances, out-shooting the Bruins 28-11 in the game, including 7-0 during the two overtimes, but Bruin goalie Alyssa Montero held the Panthers in check, turning away 10 shots for saves, three in overtime.  The Panthers' Rissa Anderson faced 11 shots and made four saves in goal, two in each half of regulation.
