Women's soccer battles to tie in double overtime
Chestnut Hill, MA - The Wildcats of
Wheelock and Bay Path College battled to a 1-1 tie in double
overtime Tuesday afternoon in conference play. Bay Path scored the
first goal five minutes into the game when junior Jessica Hunt
(Madison, CT) knocked in a pass from Silvia Galvan (Wilbraham,

might score its first win of the season until Wheelock's Lindsey
Lacourse (Scarborough, ME) headed a pass from Nicki Wilson
(Brighton, MA) with less 1:36 left in regulation to tie the game
1-1 and send it into overtime. Bay Path junior goalkeeper Samantha
Gunseth (Swanzy, NH) recorded 15 saves in the tie, while Wheelock
sophomore Nicole Zina (Bristol, RI) stopped two shots in her season
debut.
The tie puts Wheelock at 2-3-1 overall
and 1-0-1 in conference play. Bay Path's record moves to 0-5-1 on
the season and 0-2-1 in the NECC. Wheelock next takes on Mitchell
College at Mitchell September 30th at 4:00 in conference
