Amanda Marshall scores game winner for KSC

Junior Amanda Marshall's first goal of the season proved to be the game winner, giving the Keene State women's soccer team a 1-0 win over visiting Bridgewater State University in double-overtime at Dr. Ron Butcher Field on Thursday evening.

The game took a while to get going, but roared into life over the final 15 minutes of action in regulation, as KSC goalie Abbie Terrinca turned aside an attempt at a regulation winner.

Heading into the second overtime, the Bears had the first chance, but Terrinca made the save, and at the other end of the field, Marshall worked a perfect combination pass with Maya Baker, whose layoff right into the juniors' feet allowed her to race past the last BSU defender and chip the ball into the net.

Terrinca finished with five saves in the KSC net.
