Women Rally for Tie

WINCHESTER, Va. - Shenandoah University extended its women's soccer unbeaten streak to four games Sunday afternoon with a 2-2 tie versus USA South opponent Greensboro College.

After Greensboro (3-4-1, 1-0-1 USA South) scored twice within two minutes early in the second half, Shenandoah (4-4-2, 1-0-1) rallied with two goals of its own to salvage the tie.

Only one shot was taken in the 20 minutes of sudden-victory overtime (by GC), but both teams had opportunities to score that were thwarted before a shot could be taken.

Melissa Gallaher scored the opening goal at 55:31 for the Pride when took advantage of a loose ball following a Greensboro direct kick 30 yards from goal. The initial shot went off the Hornets wall, and after SU failed to clear the ball, Gallaher gained possession and was able to tuck her shot past Shenandoah keeper Kat Terza.

Less than two minutes later, another failed clear in the back led to an unassisted tally by Melissa Torzewski. Torzewski found herself past all of the Hornets defenders and was able to beat the diving Terza with a low shot.

However, the contest was far from over.

Exactly five minutes after Torzewski's goal, freshman Sara Hensley took a cross from classmate Alex Lowery at the top of the 18-yard box and ripped her shot just under the bar to cut the deficit in half.

In the 74th minute, a great individual effort by Amber Womack helped the hosts tie the game. Seemingly pinned against the touchline, Womack beat her defender to the middle of the field and crossed the ball into the box where Hensley ran onto it and one-touched it past GC keeper Katie Allegro.

Both teams had a couple of chances to score in the remaining 17 minutes of regulation, including one by Womack in the final minute, but were unable to get the game-winner.

Greensboro outshot SU 13-10, but the Hornets took six of the game's seven corners.

Terza had six saves and Allegro three. Neither woman needed to make a save in overtime.

Shenandoah hosts Eastern Mennonite on Wednesday night at 7.
