Box Score ATLANTA (Oct. 1, 2016) – Kiley Ezzell scored the game-winning goal from teammate Dayla LaRocque with less than a minute to play Saturday, as the Sewanee women's soccer team defeated Southern Athletic Association (SAA) rival Oglethorpe, 3-2.
Ezzell's late magic was set up by four goals in the first half. Sewanee broke through first when Tasha Saunders fired home a loose ball inside the box in the 23rd minute. Seven minutes later, Sewanee added to its advantage. From 10 yards outside the top of the box, senior Nikki Johnston ripped in a long shot for her second goal this season.
Just when it looked like Sewanee would run away from the Stormy Petrels, OU rallied. The home team answered back with two first-half goals by Kayla Trice. Trice first scored when Chase Cabana played a long pass down the left side. Trice then scored again right before halftime as Precious Buddington found her teammate spiriting down the right sideline.
Overall, Sewanee dominated in shots 18-3. The Tigers also led in corners by a large margin, 9-1.
OU keeper Tabitha Floyd was a big key for the Stormy Petrels. Floyd finished with seven saves while Savannah Williams and Ezzell led Sewanee in shots with three.
Sewanee returns to action by heading back to Atlanta for a 6:00 p.m. match at Emory, Tuesday.
