LAGRANGE, Ga. - Junior forward Ashley Royster found the back of the net in the 107th minute on Justine St. Louis' first career assist, as the Brevard College women's soccer team (2-5-2, 1-1-0 USAS) claimed its first USA South Conference victory of Fall 2021, 2-1, over LaGrange College (1-4, 0-2 USAS).
The Tornados fired off a DIII-era record 46 shots in the double-overtime victory, including 24 shot attempts in the first half alone.
Tae Brown scored her first goal of the season, as the sophomore forward from Mooresville, North Carolina broke the scoreless draw in the 52nd minute on an unassisted goal.
Sophomore goalkeeper Cam Da Silva (1-1) earned her first career collegiate victory, making her second consecutive start in goal for the Tornados. The Cumming, Georgia native made five saves in the victory.
Royster shot a career-high 10 shots, while Brown added a career-high eight shot attempts. Alyssa Hetherington and St. Louis logged five shots each in BC's flurry of shot attempts.

In the first overtime period, BC outshot LaGrange 7-0, but was unable to find the back of the net. With both sides still deadlocked, the match moved to a second 10-minute OT period.
LaGrange fired a shot on-goal in the 103rd minute that forced a De Silva save before BC fired a pair of shot attempts off. St. Louis, a freshman forward from Orange City, Florida, found Royster, who was able to score the game-winner to give BC their first win since September 4.
