McGraw scored in the seventh minute of overtime to edge Goshen College
2-1 and give the Foresters (4-4-1, 1-1) their first conference win of
the season.
For 78 minutes, the two teams remained
scoreless, but HU's Hannah Kaufman finally broke through with a goal
off an assist from Laura Perry at the 78:13 mark. The lead was
short-lived as the Maple Leafs answered back less than a minute later.
The Foresters picked up the intensity and created several quality
scoring opportunities in the final 11 minutes, but they couldn't find
the back of the net.
HU kept up the pressure in the overtime
period. McGraw was finally able to cash in off a combined effort from
Brittany Carlson and Sarah Kaufman to get the game-winner at the 96.05
mark.
"We really had a lot of chances to end
the game much earlier, but couldn't finish," said Coach Sharpe.
Goshen's keeper made a few good saves, but we put a lot right at her."
The Foresters had 14 shots on goal to
just five for Goshen and HU keeper Emily Walker had four saves in the
match.
