Skyhawks Stun Bentley With Last Second
Goal
Boxscore
Waltham, Mass. - It was better
late than never for the Skyhawks, who scored twice in the final two
minutes, including the game winner with three seconds left, to
erase a one goal deficit and beat the Falcons 2-1 on Tuesday in
Waltham.
After a scoreless first half, Bentley struck first in the
second, scoring in the 65th minute on a Cheryl Boyd penalty
kick.
The Skyhawks tried to counter but were unable to, in spite of
numerous shots at Bentley keeper Kara Smith.
Stonehill finally broke through at the 88:18 mark when junior
Kelly Regan (Mansfield, Mass.) headed the
ball in off a Michele Norton (Abington, Mass.)
corner to even the score at one a piece.
The tie score wouldn't last, as the Skyhawks regained possession
and freshman Kelsey Mahoney (Rehoboth, Mass.)
lofted a pass to Kirstie St. Martin
(Providence R.I.) who headed the ball past Smith from
five yards out for the game winning goal with just three seconds
remaining.
Smith had eight saves in net for the Falcons, while senior
keeper Marissa Bramwell (Norton, Mass.) had three
for Stonehill.
The win snaps a four game losing streak for the Skyhawks, as
they improve to 4-6-1 overall and 3-4-1 in the conference.
Stonehill returns to action on Saturday, when they travel to
take on Adelphi at 1:00 pm.
