WOMEN'S SOCCER DROPS 1-0 LOSS TO EASTERN NAZARENE IN 102:37
NEW LONDON, CT--Mitchell College Women's Soccer dropped their 10th game of the year in a hard fought, double overtime battle with the Crusaders from Eastern Nazerene College. Eastern Nazerene, a member of the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC), leaves New London with their first win of the season (1-13). The 0-1 loss leaves the Pequots at 5-10-0.
The Crusaders' lone goal came 2:37 into double overtime from captain Geraidine Dorsett (Jr., Nassau, Bahamas). Dorsett split the defense and found the lower right corner of the net past the Peqout goalie. Goalkeeper Melaina Genovese (Jr., Hingham, MA) ended the game with 10 great saves on the day.
The Pequots were led by the offensive efforts of sophomore midfielder Kailynn Orr (Westerly, RI, Early Childhood Ed.). Orr finished with four shots on goal for the game. Mitchell finished the game with 14 shots to the Crusaders' 2. Many near misses kept the Peqouts from wrapping up a win. Keeper Molly Gill (Fr., Deep River, CT, Early Childhood Ed.) ended with one save for the game.
Mitchell will return to the field on Monday when they host St. Joseph College of Connecticut for a 4:00 kickoff. Eastern Nazarene will finish out the remainder of their regular season at home in Quincy, MA with their next game on Tuesday hosting CCC rival University of New England at 1:00 PM.
