LEXINGTON, Va. --- It took just 67-seconds of extra-time to break a 60-minute stalemate as nationally 16th-ranked Washington and Lee University hoisted the ODAC field hockey trophy with a 1-0 overtime triumph over 19th-ranked University of Lynchburg in the conference championship game on Saturday afternoon in Lexington.

Petyon Tysinger provided the winning score for the Generals (16-2). Kailey Fitzgerald fired a shot at the Hornets' (17-4) cage, but keeper Kayla Brady was equal to the effort. Freddie Tobeason got a touch on the rebound, which Tysinger directed over the line for the clinching score with 8:53 on the overtime clock.

Saturday's effort marks the second straight and fourth overall ODAC field hockey crown for Washington and Lee. It is also the fourth league title game determined outside of regulation with two extra-time contests (2006) and two games decided on penalty strokes (1991, 2001).

In addition to the conference hardware, Washington and Lee earned the ODAC's automatic entry to the NCAA Division III Field Hockey Tournament. The field, including any possible at-large selections for conference teams, will be announced on NCAA.com on Sunday evening, November 6, at 10:30 p.m. ET.

As expected, Lynchburg and Washington and Lee played fairly even throughout the contest. There were just 21 shots between the two squads with the Generals responsible for 15 efforts towards the Hornets cage. Most offense came from the run of play with only four corners awarded, three for W&L.

Lynchburg's Brady made 10 saves, while W&L's Abby Long stopped both on-goal shots by the Hornets.

Tysinger's winner marked her 14th goal of the season, giving her 34 points on the season. Tobeason's assist tied Shenandoah University's Farren Winter for tops in the ODAC with 12 helpers. That is a new single-season record for Washington and Lee, snapping the mark of 11 assists set by Sallie Armstrong in 2006.

Be sure to watch the selection show on NCAA.com on Sunday at 10:30 p.m. ET to learn of Washington and Lee's bracket position and see if any additional ODAC teams earn at-large selections from the Division III Field Hockey Championship Committee.
