With two minutes to play in overtime, senior Pioneer Colleen Carney of Yorktown Heights, N.Y. scored the game-winning goal that ensured the Pioneers victory over the University of New Hampshire Wildcats on Sunday.
At the end of regulation, the Pioneers, who had fought back the entire second half, were tied 5-5 and heading into overtime. It was clear however, who would be taking control of ball and the game as soon as overtime started.
The Pioneers dominated early on and their strong play resulted in a penalty corner to set up the game-winning goal. Katie Bohren, a junior from Hopewell Junction, N.Y., was the stopper for Carney who tapped the ball slightly in front of the line and fired a shot in the left bottom corner of the cage to end the game at 71:53 with a 6-5 score.
Bohren, who usually is not the stopper for Carney on corners stepped up and took the opportunity to score. In overtime, the team is only allowed 6 players and a goalie on the field.
"I was a bit nervous that I wasn't going to stop it," said Bohren. "But it was a great push out by Jenn Howley that I had no trouble stopping it and Colleen did the rest."
Even though Sacred Heart came out with another win, the game was controlled by the University of New Hampshire the entire first half. New Hampshire scored at 21:32 when junior forward Shauna Sellenger of Londonderry, N.H. got a rebound off of another player's shot from the middle of the circle.
Sacred Heart immediately called a time out and responded when Carisa Eye, a sophomore forward from Nesconset, N.Y. scored. Eye was assisted by Bohren who set up a long entry pass and allowed Eye to fire a shot towards the right side of the goal just inside the post. Bohren leads the Pioneers with seven assists this season.
The game was then tied up until minutes later New Hampshire responded with another goal. The goal was scored by Emily Colton, after the first attempt was saved by senior Ashley Del Greco. Del Greco of Merrimack, N.H. could not stop the rebound as Colton lifted the ball over her and into the goal at 27:32 in the first half.
