Box Score WESTMINSTER, Md.--Forward Liz Beall scored the golden goal just
2:56 into the first overtime period to propel the McDaniel College
Green Terror (1-1-1) to a 2-1 nonconference win over the Hood
College women's soccer team (2-3) Saturday afternoon.
After Beall set up teammate Sam Wilson for the first tally of
the afternoon in the 18th minute, the Blazers booted in the
equalizer when junior Jessica Devine
scored her team-high third goal of the season in the 38th minute.
Devine's score came on a header off a Cara Jordan corner kick.
McDaniel's Wilson had a chance at scoring the go-ahead goal just
before the halftime whistle but Hood's starting keeper junior Kirsten
Cacciola was there for the stop as the two teams went into
intermission tied at 1-1.
Senior Rachelle Buhrman
relieved Cacciola to start the second half and made a valiant
effort in the net, denying five more Green Terror attempts,
including three in the final 10 minutes. But the Blazer front line
was unable to convert in regulation either, forcing Hood's first
overtime test of the season. In the sudden victory session, Beall
was the hero for the hosts, lifting McDaniel to its first win of
the fall and sending the Blazers to their third straight
defeat.
Hood looks to get back on the winning track Tuesday at
nonconference foe Washington College at 4 p.m. The Blazers and
Shorewomen played to a 2-2 double-overtime draw last season at
Thomas Athletic Field.
