Brown’s 85th-Minute Tally Lifts Women’s Soccer Past Eastern Mennonite

Quakers finish season on high-note, outlasting ODAC Tournament-bound Royals

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Tapping the ball past keeper CJ Jefferson in the 85th minute, Lily Brown (Boone, N.C.) made her last play of collegiate soccer a memorable one, uplifting the Guilford College women's soccer team (9-7-2, 3-7-0 ODAC) past Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) tournament-bound Eastern Mennonite University (6-10-1, 4-6-0 ODAC), 2-1, on a soggy Appenzeller Field at the Armfield Athletic Center on Wednesday night.

With the victory, the Quakers complete their fifth-consecutive winning season, their longest streak of such campaigns in program history, and the first in the head coaching career of Dakota Rock '15. Individually, Ainsley Yates (West End, N.C.) contributed an assist for Guilford, her eighth of the fall, drawing into a six-way tie for the seventh-most in a single-season in program history.

In goal, Lorelai Lis (Bradenton, Fla.) went the distance, surrendering a goal against three saves on the five total Royal shot attempts to finish her freshman season with a 5-2-2 mark. EMU split time in net with Katie Parks getting the start and making four saves against a goal conceded on eight Quaker shots in the first half, although she did not factor into the decision and ultimately Jefferson took the defeat, allowing a goal against three saves on 12 shots in her direction to drop to 3-2.

Kylee Berry (Kernersville, N.C.) contributed the initial Quaker goal before Brown's second game-winner of the fall later on. Leyla Strong (Concord, N.C.) contributed an assist for GC in addition to Yates' helper.

Leah Beachy was the goal scorer for EMU, scoring on one of her two shot attempts, with Bridget Hay assisting her tally.

Overall, the Quakers dominated the tempo with a 20-5 advantage in shots and 10-4 edge in shots on goal, but the Royals maintained a strong level of competition nonetheless.

Guilford would open the matches' scoring in the 30th minute of play. On the attack, a quality Quaker cross caused momentary panic by the Royals backline and as a result, Leah Cap committed a handball in the box. Berry came up to take the attempt and buried the PK going to the bottom-right for her fifth goal of the fall, and the only score in the opening half of action.

Into the second stanza, Guilford got on the attack, but it was Eastern Mennonite who ended up breaking through. On a casual-looking attack in the 57th minute, Hay chipped a lose shot in the general direction of the right post, drawing out Lis who made a diving diversion well off her line. Unfortunately, the carom found the feet of Beachy who managed to jab at the ball and get enough of it to tap it into the lower-right for her 10th goal of the season, and the equalizing score.

Between the raindrops, it was appearing neither side would snap the stalemate and take the decision, but finally, it would be the home squad in the 85th minute. Off a throw-in by Emily Parker (Lillington, N.C.) from right sideline, Yates headed the ball across the middle of the box with a tip by Strong, preceding it settling at the feet of Brown. The senior got a clean look from 12 yards out straight-away, and went bottom-right for her sixth goal of the season, lifting GC to the 2-1 victory.

This concluded Guilford's 2025 season.
