FREDERICK, Md. - Shenandoah University snapped a two-match field hockey losing streak Monday afternoon with a 3-2 overtime non-league win at Hood College.

The Hornets (3-2) now can tie the 2004 team for the most wins in school history with one more victory. SU has 12 games remaining on its regular season schedule, including seven MAC Commonwealth contests.

Junior Paola Aguilar tallied the game-winner for SU three minutes into the sudden victory overtime. The Hornets are now 2-0 in extra time this season.

After Hood (2-4) took the first seven shots of the game, Shenandoah drew first blood when junior Kaitlin Sommer scored in the 28^th minute off an assist from Aguilar.

The Hornets took a 1-0 lead into the break as goalkeeper Danielle Lawson made four saves.

The Blazers tied it at 1-1 with a goal in the 44^th minute and after Aguilar scored at 47:03, the hosts tied it for a second time when Maria Smith scored on a scramble in front of the cage at 61:29.

The remaining 8:31 of regulation passed, setting SU up for its second overtime game of the season.

Hood had a pair of penalty corners to start the overtime, and Shenandoah was able to clear both and get the ball into its offensive end. Following a corner of its own at 71:35, Aguilar found herself wide open 70 seconds later and knocked home the game-winning goal.

Shenandoah opens MAC play on Saturday with a 3:00 contest against Albright.

Lawson finished the game with eight saves.
