NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. – The No. 1 seed Westminster women's soccer team lost, 4-3, in double overtime to No. 3 seed Chatham in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Tournament Championship at home Saturday night.
 
Down 3-1 with less than 20 minutes left in regulation, Westminster (16-2-1) found its footing when first-year Allie Augustine (Cortland, OH / Lakeview) registered her second goal of the contest by dribbling past the defense off a dish from senior Ashley Frank (Mentor, OH / Mentor) at the top of the box. Four minutes later, first-year Natalie Vilchek (West Newton, PA / Yough) found Frank who crossed a ball right to junior Julia Redilla (Cranberry Township, PA / Seneca Valley) who blasted a goal high-middle of the net, tying the game at three. In the remaining 15 minutes of regulation, neither teams could muster a goal, sending the game into overtime.
