Chestertown, Md. - Senior midfielder Amanda Bramble's (Easton, Md./Easton) first tally of the season keyed the St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team's 3-2 overtime win over Washington (Md.) College Wednesday night in non-conference action.

Nearly eight minutes into the first overtime period, junior midfielder Allie Skiest (Arnold, Md./Seton Keough) directed a wide cross through the circle following a penalty corner and Bramble knocked it in for the game-winner at 77:53.

Junior forward Caitlin Grice (Hampstead, Md./North Carroll) gave the Seahawks (4-3) an early 1-0 lead at 14:11 as Grice put back a loose ball for her first goal of the season following a save by senior goalie Elena Nicholoff (Tunkhannock, Pa./Lackawanna Trail).

St. Mary's increased its lead to 2-0 at 33:01 when freshman forward Lauriann Parker (Woodbine, Md./Glenelg) blasted in a shot on the run for her team-leading third goal of 2009.

Washington (2-4) cut the visitor's lead to 2-1 at 58:06 as senior forward Kelsey Kemp (Stroudsburg, Pa./Stroudsburg) sent in a pass to the center of the circle where sophomore forward Emily Tress (Kensington, Md./Connelly) deflected it in for her third tally of the year.
