NEWBERRY — A late goal by Lindsay Huber gave Newberry (4-8-1, 2-4-1) the equalizer, but two scoreless overtime periods gave the Wolves a 1-1 tie vs. Lincoln Memorial (2-7-1, 1-4-1) on Monday afternoon.

Huber drilled a shot from the top left of the box in the 81st minute into to the top right of the net as it was out of reach of LMU goalkeeper, Kathryn Lundy. It was Huber’s first goal of the 2016 season, and the senior finished the match with three shots, two of which were on frame.
