Women's Soccer Stuns Southern NH in Double OT
NORTH ANDOVER, MA - Thanks to a pair of goals from sophomore
Khara Roman (Orange, CT),the Merrimack women's
soccer Warriors (8-2-1, 5-2 NE-10) won their third straight contest
Wednesday evening, 2-1 over the Penmen of Southern New Hampshire
(3-6-3, 1-4-3 NE-10) in double overtime.
Roman scored her second goal of the season off the head of
junior Kerri Domohowski (Saugus, MA) before
scoring her third of the year in the 108th minute of
play from Jessica Peacock (Hopedale, MA) and
Jessie DeGraan (Braintree, MA) off the Warriors
tenth and final corner kick.
Sophomore goalkeeper Kiley Horne (Scituate, MA)
recorded her first win of the year in relief of senior
Brittany Gustafson (East Hampton, CT), making
three saves on the night.
Head Coach Gabe Mejail thought Southern New
Hampshire to be a worthy opponent, but was impressed with how his
team came out of the gates in overtime play.
"They played us tough the entire game, we were just on fire in
the second overtime," Mejail said. "I don't know where we got
all the energy, but our team showed some real determination, and
made it count when we needed it most."
The Warriors hit the road next at American International on
Saturday, October 3 in Springfield, Massachusetts for an 11:00 AM
start.
