WLAX: DOLPHINS FALL IN DOUBLE OVERTIME AT MANHATTAN,
14-13
Riverdale, N.Y. - Chrissy Gutenberger scored two goals, including
the game winner with just 31 seconds left, in the second overtime
to give Manhattan a 14-13 win over Le Moyne on Sunday.
The Dolphins were led by Rebekah Elmer (Syracuse, N.Y./West
Genesee) with five points, while the trio of
Nerissa Barzee (Baldwinsville,
N.Y./Baldwinsville), Mia Valletta (Niskayuna,
N.Y./Niskayuna) and Jackie Lundblad (Marietta,
N.Y./Marcellus) all tallied three points a piece. Le Moyne
is now 0-3 on the season, while Manhattan picked up their first win
to improve to 1-1.
The Dolphins started things off quickly with two goals in the first
minute by Michelle Phillips (Johnson City, N.Y./Maine
Endwell) and Valletta. Manhattan then rattled off three
goals before Elmer netted her first goal of the day with less than
11 minutes left in the half to tie it up at three. Each team scored
a goal in the final 10 seconds of the half as Valletta scored her
second goal of the game with 10 seconds left. Manhattan's Caralyn
Hickey followed with a goal as time expired to send the game tied
at five goals apiece into halftime.
The Jaspers came out of halftime scoring the game's next seven of
eight goals to take a commanding 12-6 lead with just under 11
minutes left of the game. It was at that point when the Dolphins
made a furious comeback. Le Moyne scored six unanswered goals, led
by Barzee's three goals in the span. Lundblad netted the game-tying
goal with only 51 seconds remaining to send the game into
overtime.
Le Moyne struck first in the extra session, with Valetta scoring
the last of her three goals with 17 seconds left in the first
overtime period. Manhattan answered the Dolphins goal just over two
minutes after and tacked on one more that turned out to be the game
winner.
Freshman goalkeeper Kelly Fucillo (Camillus, N.Y./West
Genesee) played the games entire 66 minutes and recorded
20 saves and led the team with 12 groundballs.
Le Moyne will be back in action on Thursday, March 5th
when Detroit Mercy will travel to Syracuse to take on the Dolphins
at 4:00 p.m.
