Box Score ALFRED, N.Y. (Sept. 5) - After 100 minutes of scoreless play, sophomore
Nikki Davis broke the tie with a game-winning goal, as the Waynesburg University women's soccer team defeated Alfred University 1-0 in double overtime Saturday. It was the second overtime victory for Waynesburg (2-0) in as many days.
Out of the kickoff in extra time, Waynesburg (2-0) was able to force an Alfred (0-2) turnover in the Jackets' offensive third of the field. Davis flipped the ball over the defenseman's head, put enough power on the shot while making contact with the goalkeeper and scored the game-winner just 28 seconds into the second overtime period.
The Jacket defense was solid in the victory and has yet to allow a goal in two extended games on the young season. Goalkeepers
Ciara Scott and
Heather Fraser combined to make five saves, while the defense held the Saxons to 11 shots.
The Orange and Black will return home for five days of preparation before traveling to Oberlin, Ohio, Friday for a non-conference match. Match time against the Oberlin College Yeowomen is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
