The women's soccer team wrapped up the regular SAA season with a 4-3 come from behind win against Hendrix College.

With the win, the women will at least share a portion of the SAA regular season championship.

The Lynx found themselves in a 2 goal hole with a sluggish start. Hendrix forward Mel Roach scored both goals, in the 16th minute and again in the 34th. The Lynx were able to get a goal back before the halftime break. In the 39th minute Taylor Weidow finished a cross from freshman Elizabeth Wayda.

Rhodes came out aggressive in the 2nd half and started to generate offensive chances. The Lynx were again level when freshman Hunter Tilton scored off of an assist from senior Paula Vasichko. Three minutes later the Lynx found the lead off of an own goal from Hendrix. Freshman Shannon Donelson's cross was deflected into the net. Weidow would add another goal, the eventual game winner, when she got on the end of a service from freshman Lauren Albright in the 78th minute.

Hendrix would add a third goal with 17 seconds left, when Rebecca Rahn scored off of a free kick.

Junior Allison Cowling made 5 saves for the Lynx while Rachel Zweig made 9 for the Warriors.

Rhodes led in shots 24 to 15 while Hendrix had the advantage on corner kicks 7 to 6.

Rhodes wraps up the 2012 regular season as they travel to NAIA foe Lyon College tomorrow.
