Albany, N.Y. - Christina Patrick took a
rebound off her own shot and found the back of the cage to lead UAlbany to a
3-2 overtime win over Virginia Commonwealth in the Great Danes' season opener
on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Turf Field. The game was the first of the
Capital Land Classic hosted by UAlbany this weekend.
UAlbany
opened the scoring in the first half with a goal by Nina Walters in the 11th
minute. Walters deflected a shot from Suzy Clephane off a penalty corner to put
the Great Danes on top. VCU tied the game at 1-1 just before halftime as Kelsey
Scherrer and Emilie Soares capitalized on a two-on-one opportunity with UAlbany
goalkeeper Christine Hoffman. Soares handed the ball off to Scherrer, who found
the back of the cage at 27:16.
UAlbany
came out of the halftime break and broke the tie in the 45th minute when Alysia
Hough took a one-on-one opportunity with VCU keeper Erin Jablonski and took a
shot into the lower left corner of the cage. With just over ten minutes left to
play, the Rams' Chelsea Hill got UAlbany goalkeeper Kristi Troch to come out of
the cage, and took a shot from the top right of the circle to knot the game at
2-2. Patrick ended the game just six minutes into the extra period, as she
gathered her own rebound off Jablonski's pads and found the lower right corner
of the cage.
The
Great Danes outshot the Rams, 21-10, and held a 9-4 advantage in penalty
corners. Hoffman made one save as the UAlbany starter, while Troch made four
stops in the second half and overtime period. Jablonski went the distance for
VCU, making six saves.
UAlbany
(1-0) will return to action on Sunday, as they take on Hofstra at noon. VCU
(0-1) will face Boston University in the second game of the day at 2:30 p.m.
Boston U. (1-0) defeated Hofstra (0-1) in Saturday's second match-up at Alumni
Turf Field.
