Box Score  |  Infographic  |  Season Statistics

TOWSON, Md. –  Sophomore Hannah Lopiccolo scored her second game-winning goal in as many matches to lift the Northeastern women's soccer team to a 3-2, double-overtime victory over Towson on Sunday at the Tiger Soccer Complex.

Redshirt junior Breeana Koemans scored in the 10th minute and assisted on Mackenzie Dowd's 40th-minute goal, before a stunning rally by Towson (two goals in the final 11 minutes) forced extra time.

After a scoreless first overtime session, Lopiccolo took matters into her own hands, dribbling around a Towson defender, before slotting home less than a minute into double OT to give Northeastern (11-4-1, 4-1-1 CAA) its fourth straight victory. 

Goal Recaps
• Koemans opened the scoring inside of 10 minutes when she finished a Kayla Cappuzzo cross at the left post at the 9:41 mark.
• Koemans then set up Dowd with a perfectly placed corner kick that the junior was able to head home in the 39th minute to put NU up 2-0.
• Towson (6-6-3, 0-4-1 CAA) reduced the deficit to 2-1 when Natalia Pinkney converted a cross from Alexis Toles in the 79th minute.
• Pinkney then tied things up eight minutes later, converting McKenzie McCaull's knock-down following a Vasthy Delgado free kick.
• With the momentum on Towson's side, Lopiccolo snatched all three points for Northeastern with a great solo goal 59 seconds into double overtime.
