Last Minute Goals Earn Brockport the Victory over Women’s Lacrosse

 

ONEONTA, NY - Brockport’s (2-1) first year attack Lexie Goodhart earned her first hat trick of the year in tonight’s 7-8 victory over Elmira College (2-2) at SUNY Oneonta. Goodhart scored the gametying goal with only 30 seconds left to play in regulation, which was then followed up by Kim Winslow’s game winning goal with only 10 seconds left to play.

The first half started with EC taking the 1-0 lead in the opening minutes. Second year midfielder Stephanie Walker ’07 netted the go ahead goal at the 28:11 mark. Fourth year attack Katya Outwater ’07 assisted Walker’s goal. Brockport would then tie the game five minutes later on a Kath Villa goal which was assisted by Winslow. The score only remained 1-1 for a short time.

First year attack Perry Markell ’10 who has shown continuous improvement in every game she has played in this season netted back-to-back goals for EC giving them the 3-1 lead. With a free position goal from Brockport EC still held onto their lead by only one goal. Outwater then extended EC’s lead back to two on a great goal which was unassisted at 13:10 in the first half. Unfortunately within the final minutes of the half Brockport would tie the game at 4-4 with back-to-back goals from Lindsey Cayea.

With the start of the second half it truly was anyone’s game to win. Even though Brockport took the early lead EC did not give up one bit. Walker answered back a minute after the Brockport goal to tie the game once again. Brockport’s Julie Decker earned the Golden Eagles their second lead of the half with more than 15 minutes left to play in regulation.

The final minutes of play however would see a combined four goals respectively. Markell started the scoring frenzy with a minute left to play. After Markell’s goal Outwater added another goal giving the Soaring Eagles 7-6 lead with only seconds left to play. Unfortunately with less than 30 seconds left to play in the game crucial turnovers by EC would cost the Purple and Gold not only the lead but the game as well.

Goalie Malorie Stockwell ’08 faced a total of 22 shots from Brockport’s offense tonight and made seven saves.

Markell who finished the night with the hat trick also led the team in ground balls having earned seven total. She also managed to win eight draw controls as well.

EC will look to bounce back from tonight’s loss when they take on Empire 8 conference rival Ithaca College this Saturday. Game time is scheduled for 4 p.m. at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.
