Wilmington, De. -A goal from senior Lexxi Carroll (Plainville, Conn.) in overtime lifted the Post University women's soccer team to a 2-1 win over Wilmington on Saturday afternoon in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference game.

With the win, the Eagles move to 8-4-1 overall and 8-1-1 in the CACC. They are currently in first place in the conference. Wilmington, who is in third place, is now 7-6 overall and 7-2 in the CACC.

Wilmington opened up the scoring with a goal from Loran Wyrough in the 29th minute off of a free kick. The goal was her 13th of the season, which is second in the conference.

The Eagles had opportunities in the first half as junior Sylvia Yanez (West Haven, Conn.), sophomore Sam Rodriguez (Wayne, N.J.) and Carrolll had shots stopped early on in the half, but were unable to get one by goalkeeper Kierstyn Williams.

After halftime, however, the Eagles were able to get on the board as freshman Jen van Alphen (Hudson, N.Y.) crossed from the left side to find sophomore Katharina Mertz (Buxtehude, Germany) in the 58th minute to tie the game, 1-1.

The final 32 minutes of regulation remained scoreless, but it didn't take long for the Eagles to finish the job as Carroll intercepted a pass from 30 yards out and took a shot from 20 yards out to beat Williams for the game winner in the 92nd minute.

Coach Matt Micros said the team got it together in the second half. "I thought we came out a little flat today, and dug ourselves a hole," Micros said. "But in the second half we matched Wilmington's intensity and were able to battle back. Our defense was solid today. Great win for the girls on the road."

Senior Laura Morgan (Brush Prairie, Wash.) finished with three saves on the day. Williams finished with seven saves for the Wildcats.

The Eagles have only lost once in their last ten games.

Up next for Post is an out of conference home game against Franklin Pierce on Oct. 22. Game time is scheduled for 3 p.m.
