Wooster Overcomes 2-0 Deficit, Upends Kenyon in OT

Briana Lynch scored the game-tying goal with 8:47 remaining in regulation as well as the game-winner 2:07 into overtime, keying The College of Wooster's 3-2 comeback victory over host Kenyon College in a match-up that featured two teams which were undefeated in North Coast Athletic Conference play entering Saturday's action at Gambier, Ohio.

Kenyon (5-5, 4-1 NCAC) had bolted out to a 2-0 halftime lead, behind a pair of scores just 3:06 apart fairly late in the opening stanza.

Wooster (8-2, 5-0 NCAC) began the second with a flurry of shots on the Ladies' goal and finally got one through, as Eileen Barrer connected on her eighth goal of the season. It was still 2-1 when the time ticked down under 10:00, but shortly thereafter, Lynch found an opening for her eighth goal of the year. Neither of the Scots' scores in regulation was assisted.

Playing just its second overtime game of the season, Wooster quickly fired off two shots and the second was true, with Lynch poking in a ball off an assist from Stephanie Standera.

Statistically, the Scots owned the advantage in the shot department (16-12) and in penalty corners (9-6), while Kenyon goalie Karen Thompson kept her squad in it with 10 saves. On the other end of the field, Madalyn Myers made four saves to help preserve the win.

Wooster will play the other undefeated team in league play, Ohio Wesleyan University (7-2, 5-0 NCAC), on Tuesday at home at 4:30 p.m.
