Fredericksburg, Va. – First-year
midfielder Johanna Rambo
(Hollywood, Md./Leonardtown) netted the game-tying goal to help the
St. Mary's College of Maryland women's soccer team clinch the No. 3
seed in the upcoming Capital Athletic Conference Women's Soccer
Tournament as the Seahawks played to a 1-1 draw with University of
Mary Washington Saturday afternoon.
St. Mary's (5-6-3, 5-2-1 CAC) will host a first round contest on
Saturday, October 30 and will most likely face Mary Washington for
the second time in a week as the Eagles are currently sixth in the
standings with a 3-2-2 mark and have one league game remaining.
Following a scoreless first half, Mary Washington (8-4-3) struck
first as junior defender Amy Olson (Crofton,
Md./Arundel) slid one up the middle for a 1-0 Eagle lead at
53:59.
The one-goal lead did not last long as Rambo
responded with an unassisted goal just six minutes later
(59:49).
In the first overtime period, the Seahawks turned away four
corner kicks by Mary Washington while Rambo had a
shot go off the post following a corner kick by junior defender
Bridget
McGovern (Wrentham, Mass./King Philip Regional).
The second overtime stanza saw Rambo and
sophomore midfielder Carly Harmon
(Davisburg, Mich./Holly) each fire a shot that was denied by junior
goalkeeper Tina Brehm (Springfield, Va./Robert E.
Lee) while Seahawk goalie Kelsey Wirtz
(Parkton, Md./Hereford) made a game-saving stop as
Wirtz stuffed a shot by the Eagles' leading-goal
scorer, first-year defender Tina Rader
(Springfield, Va./West Springfield), as time expired.
Mary Washington posted an 18-9 shot advantage as well as a 12-4
margin in corner kicks.
Wirtz finished with four stops while
Brehm had three.
St. Mary's will wrap up the regular-season on Wednesday, October
27 as they welcome Virginia Wesleyan College to Seahawk Stadium for
non-conference action at 3:30 pm.
Prior to the start of Wednesday's contest, the team's two
seniors, forward Taylor Colonna
(Kingsville, Md./Perry Hall) and defender Jamie Roberts
(Rockville, Md./The Barrie School), will be recognized for their
years of service to the Seahawk women's soccer program.
