No. 17 SCAD Edges Embry-Riddle Women 3-2 in Overtime

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. ? Lauren Frederick's golden goal in the 102nd minute gave the 17th-ranked Savannah College of Art and Design women's soccer team a 3-2 overtime win over Embry-Riddle on Friday. The Bees are now 6-4 overall and 4-1 in The Sun Conference, while the Eagles move to 3-4 overall and 1-1 in league play.

The Eagles' first goal came in the 25th minute after Lindsey Evans was fouled on the right side of the field. Cecilie Henriksen took the free kick from about 25 yards out and lifted the ball over the head of SCAD goalkeeper Rosanna Lamprey to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.

In the 34th minute, Mallory Phillips' attempt to clear a ball out of the box went askew, and fell to Sarah Hirst in the middle of the 18-yard box. Hirst played the ball with her head, and slid as she tried to avoid an advancing Lamprey, but still managed to slot the ball into the far side netting to give the Blue and Gold a 2-0 advantage heading into the halftime break.

The Bees ramped up their offensive pressure to start off the second half and it paid off in the 52nd minute when Selin Kuralay got a touch to Melissa Feuerriegel at the top of the box and the reigning conference Player of the Year notched her 11th goal of the season to pull SCAD to within one.

The Eagles managed to mount a few attacks in the second frame and got three shots on goal, but it was the Bees who had the better of the possession and with just over three minutes remaining, Feuerriegel's corner kick found Kuralay in the box, and Kuralay headed home the equalizer to send the game into overtime.

The Eagles had a chance to win the game five minutes into the first overtime period when Hirst ran by her defender into the box. Hirst's shot was on target but Lamprey was well-positioned to collect the save and with neither team able to break the deadlock, the game went into a second period of extra play.

At the 101:45 mark, Frederick received the ball on the left side of the field and lifted a long range shot that just went off the hands of ERAU's Dina Roper and into the net for the win.

Roper finished the night with a season-high 13 saves, while Lamprey collected four for the Bees.

The Eagles' next game will be at 3 p.m. on Sunday when they travel to Miami to take on conference foe St. Thomas.
