No. 12 SCAD Records 1-0 Overtime Win Over Embry-Riddle

SAVANNAH, Ga. -- The 12th-ranked Savannah College of Art and Design (10-2-1, 4-1) women's soccer scored just under four minutes into overtime to edge the Embry-Riddle (7-8, 3-2) women 1-0 in Florida Sun Conference action, Saturday at the Delta Athletic Complex.

The Bees had the better of the offensive opportunities, outshooting the Eagles 34-8 with a 17-1 advantage in shots on goal. But senior goalkeeper Stephanie Taylor held the Bees at bay throughout regulation, collecting 16 saves in the match.

The Bees finally capitalized on one of their shot opportunities with 6:08 left in the first overtime period. Angela Kowalski's throw-in found SCAD's leading goal scorer Melissa Feuerrigel in the box and Feuerriegel knocked in her 16th goal of the season for the SCAD win.

"I am incredibly proud of our girls and their effort this afternoon," ERAU head coach Samantha Baggett said. "This was a game where we fought hard against a quality opponent for 90 plus minutes.  Obviously, I wanted to get the win, but sometimes you have to look beyond the score and recognize the effort given. We were already short players and didn't have Elina today, but the team stepped up and showed a lot of heart. Credit should be given to Andy and his team for getting the result. They have several weapons you have to address.  I told our players that I finally feel like we're demonstrating the work rate needed to take our program to the next level.  Hopefully, we can build on this Tuesday against a talented Florida Southern squad."

The Embry-Riddle women will play their final regular season match at 7 p.m. on Tuesday when they travel to Lakeland to take on Florida Southern.
