TOWSON, Md. — After being kept off the scoreboard during the
final 10:45 of regulation, Goucher took four shots — and came
up with four goals — in a pair of three-minute overtime
periods in earning a 16-13 victory over Gwynedd-Mercy this
afternoon at Beldon Field.
The Griffins (4-5), who trailed 8-3 at the end of the first half, overcame a 12-9 deficit by scoring the final three goals of regulation, catching the Gophers at 12-12 on an unassisted goal by Bridget Gibson with just :57 showing on the clock.
Just :43 into overtime, the Gophers (5-6) regained the lead on an unassisted goal by Colleen Cole (Holliston, Mass./Northfield Mt. Hermon School). Goucher scored two more times in the first extra session — once off a free-poisition shot by Cindy Villarreal (Silver Spring, Md./Wheaton) and later when Villarreal set up a goal by Mary Lambert (Chapel Hill, N.C./Chapel Hill).
Lambert provided the Gophers with a four-goal advantage when she stuck her fifth goal of the contest midway through the second OT.
Cole contributed four goals to the victory, giving her a team-leading total of 35 for the season. She was also credited with an assist, six draw controls, four ground balls and five caused turnovers.
The Gophers, who never trailed, finished with a 34-28 edge in shots.
