Ohio Wesleyan 2, Kenyon 1

Sept. 17, 2005

Senior attacker Natalie Pearson (Harrison, N.Y./Greenwich, Conn.) scored to erase a 1-0 deficit and Ohio Wesleyan outscored Kenyon,
3-0, in penalty strokes to win a showdown for first place in the North Coast Athletic Conference on Saturday at the Henry Street Field.

The Bishops and Ladies were the last 2 teams remaining undefeated in conference play, each entering the day's action at 2-0 in the NCAC.

Kenyon jumped to a 1-0 lead with 6:43 left in the first half when Lauren Keiling knocked home a loose ball in the circle after a penalty corner.

The Bishops evened the game midway through the second half. Senior attacker Taneen Legree (Christiana, Pa./Octorara) played the ball to Pearson, whose shot hammered the back of the cage to even the game with 24:30 left in regulation time.

Neither team was able to push across the game-winner during the rest of regulation time, nor during a pair of 15-minute sudden victory sessions.

That left it to a series of penalty strokes to decide the winner, and the Bishops got successful flicks from freshman midfielder Emily Molchan (East Northport, N.Y./Northport), sophomore defender Diana Boryczewski (Kensington, Conn./Kingswood Oxford) and freshman midfielder Caitlin Duggan (New Milford, Conn.). Meanwhile, Bishop keeper Katie Jones (Pine Plains, N.Y./Stissing Mountain) posted 2 saves as Kenyon did not convert a flick.

Jones finished with 7 saves in the Ohio Wesleyan cage, while Kenyon's Kimberly Brown was credited with 3 saves. Kenyon outshot Ohio Wesleyan, 12-6.
