Worcester, Mass. – Springfield College freshman Nicole Fowler (Maynard, Mass.) made her first collegiate goal a memorable one – registering the match's lone tally in the 104th minute - to lift the visiting Pride to a dramatic double-overtime 1-0 win over Clark University in NEWMAC women's soccer on Saturday afternoon.

Fowler took a pass from Kelly Ziogas (Bristol, Conn.) and slid a shot past Cougar netminder Gabby Paolini (North Potomac, Md.) at exactly 103:00 to give 23rd ranked Springfield their second consecutive victory to improve to 4-1 on the season.

Clark, meanwhile, sees its record dip to 2-3-1 overall after having alternated wins and losses following a season-opening tie back on August 31.

The Pride controlled much of the game, holding a 25-3 edge in shots, including a 10-1 advantage in shots on goal.

Springfield had a few opportunities to score in regulation but the combination of some bad luck and the stellar play of Paolini in net kept them off the board.

Freshman Jessica Miller (Southbury, Conn.) had an excellent chance on a blast from just outside the box, but her attempt clanged off the crossbar in the 56th minute.

Then in a three minute span late in the second half, both Breena Salwoki (Newington, Conn.) and Fowler hit the back post.

Erin Greenstein (Framingham, Mass.) needed to make just one save to post her third career shutout of the Cougars. Paolini, meanwhile, turned back a career-best nine one game after stopping eight in her first career shutout.

Clark will look to bounce back on Wednesday when they visit Keene State, while the Pride begins a three-game homestand beginning with Amherst on Wednesday as well.
