Cutler Rescues Bowdoin With Overtime Game-Winner

BOX SCORE

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Tiernan Cutler scored the game-winning goal midway through the second overtime to give the Bowdoin College women's soccer team a 1-0 win over Brandeis in non-conference action Thursday afternoon. With the win, the Polar Bears improve to 7-5-0 this season. The Judges fall to 7-5-3 with the loss.

After a scoreless regulation and first overtime, the game-winning tally was found exactly five minutes into the second extra session. Celeste Swain played Bowdoin's eighth corner kick of the day perfectly to the center of the box, where Brandeis goaltender Hillary Rosenzweig got a hand on it. The ball deflected off the keeper's hands to Bowdoin's Stacie Sammott, who tapped it back to Cutler. The junior blasted a shot into an open net to give the hosts their second overtime victory in as many chances this season. Brandeis falls to 0-2-3 in five overtime games this year.

The teams traded several good chances over the course of the game, including a pair of great chances late in regulation. With 17 minutes to go, Brandeis' Sofia Vallone hit the crossbar to keep the game scoreless. Rosenzweig made a nice shot on a chance with six minutes to go on Sammott to preserve the deadlock.

Kat Flaherty posted her fourth shutout of the campaign thanks to an eight-save performance for Bowdoin. Rosenzweig stopped nine shots for the Judges in defeat.
