The Lions defense stepped up though in the half with Bowers putting up four saves. Evan Eubanks kept Emerson in the game in the 36th minute with a shot from the right side at 25 yards out off a loose ball.
The second half was a stalemate though even as Emerson put up four shots to Lesley's two, but both sides couldn't make the move as Bowers kept EC in it with a save.
OT spelled the same story for both sides, as it ended in a 1-1 tie, but a shootout was needed to decide the Charles River Cup which Lesley took 2-1 in PKs.
The Lions will open up NEWMAC action this Saturday as they take on MIT in Cambridge, Mass.
