Women's
Soccer Team Stunned by Southern Conn.
Owls Score with 22 Seconds Left
to Pull Out 1-0 Win
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (October 21, 2000) - Jenny
Wilkin (Hexham, England) scored with 22 seconds
left in regulation Saturday as the Southern Connecticut
State University women's soccer team shocked Franklin
Pierce College, 1-0, in a key Northeast-10 Conference
match.
The win was the biggest in
the five-year history of the Southern and all but
guarantees that the Owls (16-0, 13-0 NE-10) will host
at least one match in the upcoming NCAA Division II
tournament.
While Southern came into the
match undefeated and ranked third nationally, the
Ravens (11-2-1, 9-1-1) were ranked eighth nationally
and needed a win to vault back into the top spot in
the region.
The loss marked the first-ever
conference loss for the Ravens, covering a span of
six years. It also marks the first time they had lost
more than one match in a season since 1993.
Despite out-shooting the Owls,
12-8, and controlling possession throughout most of
the second half, the Ravens continued to struggle
to finish their chances.
Southern made them pay on
their final attack into the offensive zone when Theresa
Uliano (Newington, Conn.) tracked down a crossing
pass by Danielle Lacroix (West Haven,
Conn.) and kept the ball from going over the endline.
She directed the ball back in front of the net and
Wilkin was there with a quick shot to the far post.
A scoreless first half featured
few real chances for either team. FP
held a slim
advantage in shots (3-2) and had an edge in possession
time, but failed to turn that into anything dangerous
on net.
