| GRINNELL, IA - Not even 120 minutes could separate the women's
soccer teams from Lake Forest College and Grinnell College on Saturday
(October 7th) as the double-overtime game ended in a 2-2 tie. The Midwest
Conference battle leaves both teams with one loss and one tie. Second place
Grinnell holds the edge in wins with five to the third place Foresters'
three.
After a scoreless first half, host Grinnell was able to get on the board
first just 8:33 into the second. It took just 11 seconds for the visitors
to answer as junior Stacy
Gunstream (Fort Collins, CO/Rocky Mountain) fed fellow junior Jenny
Berthiaume (West St. Paul, MN/Simley) for her fourth goal of the season.
Grinnell went back on top approximately 13 minutes later and the score
remained 2-1 in favor of the Pioneers until, with just 1:25 remaining in
regulation, freshman Jocelyn
Durant (Old Greenwich, CT/Berkshire) scored her first career goal off
a pass from senior Kim
Sponsel (San Diego, CA/Mira Mesa). Neither team was able to connect
in either 15-minute overtime period, with each goalkeeper stopping three
shots on goal during the extra frames.
