Explorers Edged By Vermont In Overtime, 3-2


BURLINGTON, Vt. - The La Salle field hockey team led 2-1 with under two minutes to play but Vermont scored a late goal to tie the contest and added the game-winner in overtime to beat the Explorers, 3-2, on Sunday. Junior Katie O'Grady and senior Abbey Lawrence each scored goals for the Blue and Gold.

The Catamounts broke open the scoreless tie in the 26th minute and took a 1-0 lead into halftime.

Eight minutes after the break, O'Grady was selected to take a penalty stroke and found the back of the cage for her first goal of the season. The Explorers took the lead with 13 minutes to go when Lawrence took a pass from senior Devin Muracco and beat the keeper to give the visitors a 2-1 advantage.

Vermont (2-0) tied the score with just 1:51 to play on Landon Warren's second tally of the afternoon. Overtime went over seven minutes before either team could score when Vermont's Carla Godsman scored off a rebound for the victory and the Catamount Classic title. 

La Salle senior Rachel Hartman had four saves.

Vermont had a slim 18-17 lead in shots and a 12-7 advantage in corners.

The Explorers (1-1) return to Philadelphia to visit Temple on Sunday.
