Behrend Booters Survive Double-Overtime and Technical Difficulties to Beat Westminster in Herb Lauffer Memorial Soccer Tournament
The Behrend
women's soccer team defeated the Westminster Titans 1-0 in double-overtime
in the first game of the Herb Lauffer Memorial Soccer Tournament on
sophomore Nikki Frisbee's (Valencia/Mars) goal with only one minute and
fifteen seconds remaining in the second overtime period.
The game went scoreless for almost four periods and worked through a scoreboard malfunction and power failure in Behrend's opening home game of 2006.
"It was a good battling performance," said head coach Patrick O'Driscoll. "This result should give us confidence for the rest of the season."
Freshman goalkeeper Kayla Frost (Venetia/Peters Township) had another strong game making five saves and posting the shutout in goal. Behrend out shot Westminster 15-14 and improve to 2-1-1 on the year. The Titans fall to 2-2-1 and play Calvin at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. The blue and white will be in action against Thomas More on Sat 4:00 p.m. on the Behrend Fields.
In the
tournament's second game of the day, Calvin (MI) moved to a perfect 6-0 with
a
2-0 win over Thomas More (0-5).
Last season, the Behrend women finished 1-1 in the tournament. They were upended 3-2 in the first game by Washington and Jefferson, but then came back in the consolation game to win 2-0 over Juniata.
