UMW Women's Soccer Drops Opener in 2OT to Susquehanna, 1-0

An own goal with 1:28 remaining in the second overtime spelled doom for the University of Mary Washington women's soccer team, who dropped a 1-0 decision to Susquehanna University on Saturday in the Eagles' season opener in Baltimore, Md. The Eagles, competing in the Johns Hopkins Invitational, will face the host Blue Jays on Sunday at 6:30 p.m.

On Saturday, both teams struggled to create offense, as neither team would find the net for 108:32. Susquehanna outshot the Eagles, 14-5, on the day, with each team putting five shots on frame. The Eagles held a 10-4 advantage on corner kicks, but neither offense would capitalize. Susquehanna was credited with the game winner with 1:28 to go, on the own goal.

UMW goalkeeper Allison Nork (Harrisburg, Pa. / Bishop McDevitt) made four saves on the day, while Susquehanna's Chloe Wieczkowski had five stops in 109 minutes.

The Eagles will be back in action on Sunday, when they face the host Blue Jays at 6:30 p.m.
