| Kelly Hubbell scored the game-winner
8:43 into overtime. |
Anne Leigh picked up where she left off last year, as The College
of Wooster’s sophomore goalie made 13 saves during a 1-0 season-opening
overtime shutout of host Washington & Jefferson College Wednesday
night (Sept. 1) in Washington, Pa.
Leigh, the 2003 North Coast Athletic Conference leader in save
percentage (.858), kept the upstart Presidents at bay throughout
the non-league affair, including stopping three shots in the overtime.
One of Leigh’s defenders, Kelley Hubbell, made the decisive
score 8:43 into the first extra session. It marked the senior’s
seventh career goal, and providing an assist was sophomore Katy
Baron.
Wooster had routed Washington & Jefferson 5-0 in 2002 and 11-0
in 2003, but it appears the third-year varsity program has taken
some strides, as the Presidents outshot their visitors 18-12.
Heather Browne tallied six saves in the losing effort.
The Scots will continue their opening road trip with a pair of
neutral-site match-ups this weekend in Danville, Ky., where it will
face-off against the University of the South and Rhodes College
on Saturday (Sept. 4) and Sunday (Sept. 5), respectively.
