Morrisville State women post thrilling 2OT win over Wilson

MORRISVILLE, N.Y. – Host Morrisville State College women's soccer posted a thrilling double overtime North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) win over visiting Wilson College Saturday afternoon in Morrisville.

The win boosts the Mustangs to 4-9 overall, 3-6 in NEAC action. Wilson drops to 2-8-1 overall, 1-7 in conference play.

Morrisville State had the chance to get on the board in the first half, but a Jasmine Wynter (Nedrow, N.Y.) shot was saved by the fingertips of Wilson keeper Brianna Martin to keep the hosts off the board.

Both teams remained scoreless in the second half, but not without a Wilson last second shot that ricocheted off the right post with two seconds remaining in a one versus Mustang goalkeeper opportunity.

Morrisville State put one in the back of the net three minutes into the first overtime period, but the goal was called off as the Mustangs were whistled offside.

With time winding down in the second overtime period, Celia Abbott (Shortsville, N.Y.) lined up for a corner kick and sent the ball into the box to a waiting Cavellier who one-timed the ball into the net for the game winning score with 1:18 remaining on the clock.
