Women Get Golden Victory

9/1/2006 8:54:00 AM

WINCHESTER, Va. - Shenandoah University got its first-ever women's soccer victory over Bridgewater College with a 2-1 overtime win Friday afternoon in the first game of the Shenandoah University Shootout.

Freshman Jen Stoup ran down a through pass from sophomore Katie Bowers, dribbled into the 18-yard box and slipped her shot past Eagles keeper Meghan Jarrell for the game-winner three minutes into overtime. 

The win is the first for Shenandoah (1-0) in three lifetime meetings with the Eagles (0-1). The two teams had battled to a 2-2 tie in the season opener last year.

SU opened the game's scoring in the 20th minute when freshman Karissa Castillo corralled a rebound of classmate Jesilynn Knight's shot and knocked her attempt past the diving Jarrell. 

Bridgewater tied it seven minutes into the second on a Carrie Lamond finish of a Sarah Tritsch cross, and outshot its hosts 11-9, but were turned away eight times by Hornets keeper Lauren Elliott.

Box Score 

This three-team tournament continues Saturday afternoon when Rutgers-Camden faces Bridgewater at Eastern Mennonite. Game time is 7:00. Rutgers-Camden and Shenandoah conclude the tourney on Sunday at 2.
