Hartford, CT - Freshman forward Beatrice Gratry (Chagrin falls, Ohio) scored the game-winning goal with 3:39 left in overtime to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 3-2 win over the visiting Keene State College Owls in field hockey action this afternoon. Trinity improves to 3-3 for the season, while the Owls fall to 5-4.

After 11:21 of scoreless overtime play, fresh legs proved to be the difference as Gratry entered the game with 5:00 remaining in the extra frame and advanced the ball from midfield to the Keene State goal by herself before scoring the unassisted goal. Both teams had scoring chances in the overtime, including a penalty stroke by Keene that was stymied by Trinity sophomore goalkeeper Gwen Gillespie (Gates Mills, Ohio).

Trinity started the scoring with 10:38 remaining in the first half when Gratry fed junior defender Susan Hoppock (Chevy Chase, Md.) for a score. The Owls tied the score on just their third shot of the first half, as junior Annie Timpson (Derry, N.H.) shot the ball past Bantam senior goalie Jess Martin (Fort Myers, Fla.) with :40 left in the half.

Keene State went ahead, 2-1, on a goal by sophomore Nichole Dallas (Marlow, N.H.) early in the second half, but Gratry, who had a hand in all three Trinity scores, assisted senior co-captain midfielder Mary Jacobs (Malvern, Pa.) on the game-tying goal with 7:16 remaining.

With 3:34 to go in regulation, Keene junior goalie Lindsay Hamilton (Brattleboro, Vt.) saved a penalty stroke shot by Hoppock. Hamilton finished the game with 18 saves, while Martin saved nine and Gillespie, who was inserted into the game for the Owl penalty stroke only, had one for Trinity.
