Wooster, Ohio - It took an overtime period for the Gators to defeat host Wooster in women’s soccer 2-1 on Wednesday. The win improves Allegheny’s record to 8-4-2 and 3-2 in NCAC play with three games left to play.
The Fighting Scots opened the scoring in the second half with a header by Jen Jones in the 51st minute and held the lead till 3:59 remained when junior midfielder Ashley Rogerson (Fairport, N.Y.) tied the score.
Rogerson’s fourth goal of the year came off an assist from freshman defender Kristin White (Los Alamos, N.M.) who sent a long ball from the midfield, which Rogerson deflected into the net to tie the score.
Three minutes into overtime, Rogerson got free and struck again for the game winner. This time the goal was unassisted.
Allegheny out-shot the Scots 8-5 but were out-cornered 7-2.
Gator junior keeper Beth Van Parys (Erie, Pa./Villa Maria Academy) made three saves in the game.
The Gators return home to face Denison (Ohio) University at 11 a.m. on Homecoming Saturday at Robertson Field.
