FREDERICKSBURG, Va.  -- Senior forward Mark Connelly (Warrenton, Va./Fauquier) booted in the game-winning goal at the 9:40 mark of the second overtime period to put Longwood University on top of Mary Washington College 2-1 this afternoon at the Battleground Athletic Complex.  With the victory, the Lancers improve to 3-6 on the season while the Eagles drop to 4-2.
