WALTHAM, Mass.-Sophomore forward
Karmyn Carter headed home a corner kick from sophomore midfielder
Victoria Barris four minutes into the second extra session to propel The College of Saint Rose to a 3-2 triumph at
Northeast-10 Conference rival Bentley this afternoon.
In the process, the Golden Knights (9-1-1/8-1-1 NE10) extended their win streak to three matches and improved to 5-0 on the road this fall.
Â
Saint Rose scored twice in the first half, but the Falcons (4-6-0/2-6-0 NE10) struck in the opening four minutes of the second stanza and then deadlocked the match with less than seven minutes remaining.
Â
Freshman forward
Theresa Durle recoded her first collegiate strike with a mere 1:41 gone by to get Saint Rose on the board. Barris made it 2-0 at the 24:48 junction when she finished a back pass from sophomore midfielder
Eva Frazzoni.
Â
However, sophomore midfielder Kelly Donlon got the Falcons going when she touched home a cross from senior forward Peyton Kent four minutes into the second period. Junior midfielder Carly Kohler then leveled it for Bentley with seven minutes remaining in regulation after she drove home a low shot to the far post from 12-yards out.
Â
Sophomore keeper
Marika Laurendeau recorded four of her six saves after halftime for Saint Rose, while freshman Kat Hassapis entered at the onset of the second stanza to register a pair of saves for the Falcons.
"I am very proud of the girls and their resilience. Getting 3 points on the road was the focus today. We finished two early opportunities and played with heart and tenacity. The game winning goal was executed very well, said head coach
Laurie Darling Gutheil. "
Totianyu Guadalupe and
Nia Brown had another superb performance as did Tori (Barris) and Eva (Frazzoni) in the midfield.
