Women’s Soccer Heartbroken in Overtime Against Saint Joseph’s

TOWSON, Md. – Despite a season-high offensive production, the Towson University women's soccer team faltered in overtime against visiting Saint Joseph's, falling 4-3 Sunday afternoon at the Tiger Soccer Complex.
 
The Hawks reeled off three unanswered goals in the first-ever meeting between the programs in Towson. Towson (3-1-1) got three goals from three different sources to take a 3-1 lead in the 56th minute.
 
How It Happened
  • As has been the Tigers' style this season, Towson jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in just the second minute as junior forward McKenzie McCaull buried her second marker of the year. McCaull juked around her defender and chipped a shot past Hawk goalie Grace Bendon.
  • The Hawks (3-1-1) leveled the match in the 22nd minute when Hannah Racis headed home a corner ball sent in by Paige Bergman.
  • Towson regained the lead in the 42nd minute as senior captain Maddie Bové received a slip pass in the box from junior forward Evelyn Neidert. Bové beat Bendon to the left post as the keeper made a diving attempt.
  • The Tigers tacked on another goal early in the second half as McCaull dribbled around her defender and slide a perfect pass in to classmate Sarah Quick.
  • Morgan Bower cut the lead back to one for the Tigers as the Hawk took a pass from Racis in the 76th minute to make it a 3-2 game in favor of Towson.
  • In the waining moments of the match, Saint Joseph's tied things back at 3-3 on a Gabrielle Vagnozzi marker as she ripped a shot from the top of the box.
  • Bergman ended the match in the 92nd minute, taking a corner kick and finding the top right corner of the goal.
 
Behind the Numbers
  • The Hawks out-shot Towson 20-14 in the match, putting 10 chances on goal. Both sides put half of their attempts on goal.
  • Taylor Sebolao made six saves for the Tigers, stopping three shots in each half. Bendon made four saves, including three in the first 45 minutes.
  • Corner kicks were nearly even as Saint Joseph's took eight while Towson managed seven.
  • Sunday's three-goal outburst was the highest goal total for the Tigers in 2017 and the most goals for Towson since dropping five on Bowling Green on Sept. 9, 2016.
  • Saint Joseph's was the first team this season to score more than one goal against a stout Tiger defense.
