Branum's Score in Final Minute Lifts UMW Women's Soccer Past Hood

Sophomore Allie Branum scored the game's only goal with only seven seconds left in regulation to lead the University of Mary Washington women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Hood College in Frederick, Md., on Saturday. The Eagles improve to 6-1-1 on the season.

In a game that saw the Eagles lead in shots, 20-1, the guests were unable to connect for a score until Branum worked through the defense from the right side and connected during the final countdown, giving the Eagles their second straight 1-0 victory in thrilling fashion.

UMW led in corner kicks, 9-1, and sophomore Sara Armor gained the shutout without recording a save. Hood's Alexis Andrukat had seven saves for the Blazers.

Mary Washington will return to action on Tuesday when they visit Catholic University at 4:30 p.m.
