#13 Field Hockey Tops Penn in Double Overtime, 4-3

PHILADELPHIA – For much of Sunday's contest, it seemed like it was time for two of every animal to start lining up to board the ark.
 
In the end, it was two Hawks that connected on a game-winner deep into the second overtime as Sol Borensztein fed Maaike Gorissen for the winning goal to send the 13th-ranked Saint Joseph's field hockey team to a 4-3 win over Penn at Ellen Vagelos Field.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• For the second consecutive game, Saint Joseph's (8-2) got off to a quick start, and for the second consecutive game, it was Celeste Smits feeding Leigh James for the opening goal three minutes into the game.
 
• Penn (3-5) would draw level just under three minutes from halftime as Courtney Kenah tipped home a shot on a corner.
 
• The Hawks took the lead six minutes into the second half when Lily Santi converted a penalty stroke, but the Quakers equalized again after Allison Kuzyk picked up a loose ball in the circle and fired home with 3:42 to play in the third quarter.
 
• Santi earned another stroke four minutes into the fourth and fired past Frederique Wollaert for her second of the day and a 3-2 Hawk advantage.
 
• The hosts equalized yet again on a corner goal from Philine Klas with 8:19 to go; the Hawks would have a corner in the final minute, but could not convert and the game went to overtime.
 
• SJU controlled much of the possession throughout the first overtime, but Wollaert made a pair of saves to extend the game.  With less than four minutes to go in the second extra frame, Borensztein dribbled into the circle from the right wing and sent a pass to Gorissen in front of the cage; her shot beat the keeper low and sent the Hawks home with the win.
 
BEHIND THE BOX SCORE
• Wollaert made 11 saves for the Quakers, while Janelle Ward made two for the Hawks, including one at the start of the first overtime period.
 
• The Hawks matched a season-high with 31 shots and held the Quakers to just six; the Hawks outshot the Quakers 13-1 in the overtime periods.  SJU also recorded 12 penalty corners while conceding only two.
 
• The two goals gave Santi the seventh multi-goal game of her career.
