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.
