MANSFIELD – With the temperature in the
90s and the humidity even higher Mansfield University and Edinboro
University opened their 2007 season battling for 110 minutes to a
1-1 double-over tie at the Soccer Field Saturday afternoon.
It looked like the first game of the season in
the first half as both offensives struggled.
Strangely the games only goals come within a
minute of each other in the second half.
Edinboro, which held a 15-4 shot advantage in
the game, scored in the 76th minute on a goal by Mary Grebenc off
an assist by Angie de Almeida. Less than 30 second later Mansfield’s
Lyndi Keiser took a cross from Colleen Corcoran beat the defender
and put the ball past the oncoming goalie.
Mansfield had at least two scoring
opportunities in the overtimes but failed to convert.
Justine Segear played well in goal and was
credited with nine saves for Mansfield while Samantha Cairns had
one save for Edinboro.
