Women's soccer stunned in OT by Delaware


BROOKLINE, Mass. – Locked in a defensive battle with Delaware on Thursday night, the Northeastern women's soccer team was unable to beat the Blue Hens to the golden goal as the Huskies were defeated, 2-1, during the 99th minute at Parsons Field.
 
Tatiana Ortega scored the equalizing goal for Northeastern (4-9-1, 1-3-1 CAA) during the 54th minute. With the Huskies dictating possession after halftime, Alexis Legowski headed a second ball forward to Ortega, who remained onside before threading the inside of the right post.
 
Ortega's goal was the fourth of six consecutive Northeastern attempts that began the second half after Delaware (9-5-0, 4-1-0 CAA) had outgained the Huskies, 7-1 in first-half attempts – including a 4-0 mark in attempts on target.
 
Anna Diffendal put the Blue Hens in front during the 19th minute, sending in a 12-yard ball that had taken two deflections off NU defenders.
 
Northeastern nearly won the match during the fifth minute of extra time when Oliva Ware's one-time effort inside the six-yard box was blocked down by the left arm of Maria Gentile to no referee whistle.
 
Delaware capitalized on the omitted call, scoring the match-winner three minutes later. Countering, Riley Dixon drove a 40-yard strike that ricocheted off the crossbar and landed at the feet of the charging Sara D'Appolonia, who beat the out-of-position Megan Adams.
 
Adams finished with four saves while Kamryn Stablein made three.
