NORTH DARTMOUTH, 10/13/07 - The Keene State College women's
soccer team overcame a two goal deficit to post a 3-2 overtime
Little East Conference road victory at UMass-Dartmouth on
Saturday.
Freshman Katie Bradford (Lebanon, N.H.) scored the game-winner
at the 4:36 mark of the first overtime. "Kat (Keniston) gave
me a great cross and I was able to beat their goalie to the ball,
"said Bradford about her team leading ninth goal of the season.
First half goals by Andrea Mota (Somerset, Mass.) and Sarah
Killingbeck (Norton Mass.) staked the Corsairs (4-8-2, 1-3-1) to a
2-0 lead.
Freshman Nora Mahoney (Belchertown, Mass.) got one goal back for
KSC with 7:07 to play in the half when she finished a crossing ball
from Bradford.
Keniston tied the game at the 28:56 mark of the second
half. The senior forward headed in a corner kick from
Michelle Boland (Worcester, Mass.) for her seventh goal of the
season. That set the stage for Bradford's game-winner
in the overtime period.
Samantha Hirsh (Holliston, Mass.) finished the game with nine
saves for the Owls (8-6-1, 3-2 LEC).
"We just couldn't capitalize on our opportunities," said KSC
Coach Denise Lyons. "The game never should've gone into
overtime."
Keene State travels to Tufts on Wednesday.
