Women's Soccer Wins 3-2 Double-Overtime Thriller at Pace

Pleasantville, N.Y. - Freshman forward Hailey Franco picked no better time to score her first collegiate game-winner, netting it in double overtime to send the Adelphi University women's soccer team to a 3-2 win at Northeast-10 Conference rival Pace University on a rainy Tuesday night at Pace Stadium in Pleasantville.

The goal came 1:12 into the second extra period, when Madison Raposo played a long pass from midfield for Franco, who ran onto it and had a step on her defender, before chipping a shot by Pace keeper Jade Mallea for the game-winner.

The two teams went into halftime scoreless, yet an eventful second half awaited. A half that saw four goals in the final 14:49.

The Panthers (9-3, 8-2 NE10) would fall into a 1-0 hole, but leveled the score only seconds after the Setters (9-6, 5-6 NE10) broke the tie.

Just 27 ticks after Pace took the lead, Alexsis Weiser got into space and unleashed a shot that found the lower-right corner of the net for the equalizer.

Five minutes later, Adelphi went ahead. This time, Sabrina Blaskovic picked up her long-awaited first collegiate goal. Off a free kick from the near left wing, Blaskovic lined a shot underneath the crossbar, giving the Panthers a 2-1 advantage with 9:13 left.

The game would need overtime to decide it though, as Pace's Megan Garrity floated a shot over Sarah Hofmeier in the 88th minute to even things up at 2-apiece.

The Panthers outshot the Setters by a 12-8 count in the match, including a 2-0 differential in the two overtime periods. Adelphi also had eight shots on goal to Pace's three.

Head Coach Brooke DeRosa and the Panthers return to action Saturday (Oct. 26) in a pivotal NE10 tilt at No. 18 Stonehill College. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m.
