OT Goal Denies Skyhawks

North Andover, Mass. - Post University's Abby Walker scored 1:32 into the second overtime to lift the Eagles to their first win of the season, a 2-1 double overtime decision over the Skyhawks in the first game of the Merrimack Invitational on Saturday.

Post got on the board first, getting a goal from Frantzy Noze at 22:09. Stonehill answered minutes later when Shaun Keeley (Woburn, Mass.) gathered in a loose ball from Eagles netminder Marco Gasper and punched in a goal to even the score at 1-1.

The game remained that way, mostly because of the goalkeepers, with Gasper making three saves and Skyhawks goalie Brian Guerrini (Glastonbury, Conn.) turning away two shots of his own.

Both teams only produced four shots on goal, but Post held a 9-1 edge in corner kicks.

Stonehill, which drops to 2-4 overall, returns to action tomorrow when it faces C.W. Post, a team that fell to Merrimack, 4-1 in the second game of the invitational doubleheader.
