SALEM, Va. - National power Lynchburg College used a dominating offensive performance Saturday afternoon in a 3-1 non-league women's soccer victory over Shenandoah University.

The LC Hornets (1-0), who made an appearance in the national semi-finals last season and finished the year ranked fourth nationally by D3soccer.com, scored in the 11th and 36th minutes Saturday afternoon at Roanoke College's Kerr Stadium to take a lead it would not relinquish over Shenandoah (0-2).

The "Battle of Hornets" was part of the first round of the 2010 Roanoke College Invitational. SU completes its participation in the tourney by taking on host Roanoke on Sunday at 2:30.

LC outshot its fellow Hornets 27-2, including 16-0 in the opening half of play.

Shenandoah keeper Kat Terza had five of her seven saves in the opening first half to keep SU in it.

Early in the second, sophomore Amber Womack made matters interesting with her penalty kick conversion in the 58th minute.

Unfortunately for SU, Lynchburg answered back with an insurance tally in the 80th minute.

This is the second straight contest in which Womack has scored Shenandoah's only goal at Roanoke via PK. In 2009, it was the only goal in a 1-0 Hornets win over RC.

LC had both of the game's corners.
