Box Score Chicopee, Mass. – Clark junior
Erin Peete (Clinton, Mass.) scored the
game-winning goal in the 107 th minute, lifting the Cougars to a
dramatic 2-1 win over host Elms College on Sunday morning on Leary
Field.
Peete scored both goals for Clark, marking the first time in her
career in which she has scored multiple goals. It is also the
second time she has netted a second overtime game-winner, following
her goal in the 102nd minute against Lasell College last
September.
The Cougars got on the board first when she took a feed from
freshman Jen O'Rourke (Somerset, Mass.) and
beat Blazer keeper Kelly Callahan at the 10:13 mark.
Clark looked poised to collect the shutout victory but Jen
Killion found the top right corner of the net from 16 yards out in
the 89th minute to even the score.
Peete had the answer for the Cougars late in the second overtime
following a pass from Jenna Zarou (Garden City,
N.Y.).
Clark outshot the Blazers 34-13 and might have put the game away
much earlier if it had not been for the 18 save effort from
Callahan.
In turn, Cougar netminder Joanna Clark
(Windham, Maine) made six saves for Clark, who improves to 2-1 on
the season in advance of their next match – Saturday versus
Worcester State.
