Men's Soccer Defeated by Lynchburg in Overtime of ODAC Championship

LYNCHBURG, Va. - In the 2026 ODAC Championship game, the Shenandoah University men's soccer team was defeated 3-2 in overtime by No. 11 University of Lynchburg on Saturday evening. 

SU (9-4-7) concludes its season with a .625 winning percentage, which is the highest in a season since 2001 for the program and the fewest losses in a season since 1997.  LYN (15-1-4) scored the golden goal in the 96th minute to clinch the championship and earn the ODAC's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

RECAP

After a scoreless first half, Shenandoah struck first in the 50th minute thanks to Hatim Elkhasouani finding the back of the net for the third time this season.

Lynchburg answered Elkhasouani's strike with a set-piece goal nine minutes later to tie the game. Just over two minutes after Lynchburg's goal, Jarbin Rodriguez scored on a wide-open net, regaining the lead for Shenandoah, 2-1.

With under 20 minutes to play, Lynchburg struck again on another set piece, tying the game at two and sending the match into overtime. In overtime, LYN found the far side of the cage for the game-winning goal.

Rodriguez, Elkhasouani, and Aidan Browne were named to the all-tournament team.

Over the last four seasons, Shenandoah has won 33 games, which is the most during a four-year stretch for the program since the 2001-04 seasons.
