Boxscore
Biddeford, Maine – Wednesday’s match
up between Endicott College and the University of New England was a
rematch of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC)
semifinals from 2009. The Gulls were looking to exact some revenge
having lost last year’s contest in overtime, but the
Nor’easters pulled off another close victory by winning
4-3.
The Blue and Green slid to 7-5 overall, 2-2 in The Commonwealth
Coast Conference (TCCC) while UNE improved to 6-4 (4-1
TCCC).
Endicott got on the scoreboard first at 16:03 as senior \#Lindsey
Mills\# (Arlington, Mass.) tipped an offering from outside the
circle by \#Cara Hanrahan\# (Franklin, Tenn.) past
Nor’easters goalie Ayla Nelson (Auburn, Mass.). For Mills, it
was her fifth goal of the season to put the Gulls up 1-0 in the
middle of the first half. It would be the only of the
period.
Less than two minutes into the second half, UNE’s Brianna
Tupper (Winthrop, Mass.) evened the score off a penalty corner play
with an assist from teammate Hannah Tavella (Putnam Valley, N.Y.).
Just over two minutes later Endicott sophomore \#Hannah Thornberg\#
(Oakland, Maine) netted an unassisted tally to put the Gulls back
up a goal.
The Blue and Green remained ahead 2-1 for 18 minutes until the
Nor’easters scored back-to-back goals that would give them
the lead for the first time all game. At 57:09, Michelle Oswald
(Jay, Maine) scored her third goal of the year off a penalty corner
assist from Michaela Franey (York, Maine). Shortly after that,
Franey put the home team ahead with her team-leading 12th goal of
the season with an assist from Tupper.
Endicott’s Mills scored the equalizer with just under nine
minutes remaining in the game as she hit a one-timer shot off an
UNE turnover to even the score 3-3. At 65:41, UNE’s Hayley
LaPointe (Topsham, Maine) netted the game-winning goal after
collecting a rebound off Gulls goalie Taylor Teixeira (Exeter,
N.H.) to give the Nor’easters the 4-3 win.
In the cage, Teixeira made eight saves and UNE’s Nelson also
made eight saves while earning the victory.
Endicott will look to get back in the win column on Saturday,
October 9 at 11:00 am against North Shore TCCC rival Gordon
College.
