Ravens Outlast Pilots in Double Overtime

The Anderson University women's soccer team outlasted Bethel University (Ind.) with a 3-2 victory in double overtime during Saturday's matchup in Mishawaka.
 
Harper Manion (Lebanon, Ohio/Bishop Fenwick) put the Ravens (5-0-1) on the board 10 minutes into the match with her first career goal. Hannah Planck (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West) provided the assist. Tori Baver (Garrett, Ind./Garrett) fired a goal assisted by Kaitlyn Revell (Louisville, Ky./Assumption) in the 33rd minute to put Anderson ahead by two. Haley Sutyak cut Anderson's lead in half with less than two minutes remaining in the first half after capitalizing off a pass from Olivia Lambdin.
 
Jalyn Cirino provided the equalizer for Bethel (3-6) during the 82nd minute on a penalty kick. Morgan Reed (Haubstadt, Ind./Gibson Southern) delivered the game-winning goal with 5 minutes, 11 seconds in the second overtime.
 
"[Saturday] was a game of perseverance and belief," Coach Jennifer Myhre said. "We were playing well and just had the setbacks on two free-kick goals. The team continued to press hard and battled back to find the final goal. In overtime, there were some early close goals and we had to keep knocking on the door. All three goals were awesome and great for each of them to step up and find the net."
 
Anderson outshot Bethel 27-14 and held a 14-11 advantage in shots on goal.
 
Sabrina Morrison (Bloomington, Ind./South), Reed and Manion registered three shots on goal apiece while Jessica Pulaski (Centerville, Ohio/Centerville), Emily Buchman (Fishers, Ind./Fishers), Emily Stout (Grand Rapids, Mich./The Potter's House), Betsy Balish (Fountaintown, Ind./Triton Central) and Baver each contributed shots on target.
 
Reed led the Ravens with six shots. Baver notched five shots. Manion turned in four shots. Morrison and Balish put together three shots apiece. Pulaski and Stout each produced two shots while Hannah Planck (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West) added a shot.
 
D'Anjrea Allen (Indianapolis, Ind./Perry Meridian) saved nine of the 11 shots she faced while serving the entire 104:49 in goal.
