Waterbury, Conn.  – Junior Katharina Mertz (Buxtehude, Germany) scored her third goal of the season, but the Post University women's soccer team dropped a 2-1 game in double overtime to Goldey-Beacom in a Central Atlantic Collegiate game on Saturday afternoon at LaMoy Field.
 
With the loss, the Eagles drop to 4-9-1 overall and 4-6-1 in the CACC. The Lightning are now 11-4-1 and 7-3-1, respectively.
 
After a scoreless first half, Elena Power of Goldey-Beacom scored in the 57^th minute on a chip shot past sophomore goalkeeper, Cailah Baranowski (Naugatuck, Conn.) to make it a 1-0 game.
 
However, with the game seemingly headed to a close, Mertz put a shot in off the foot of freshman Fitore Kllobocishta (Watertown, Conn.) to tie the game in the 88^th minute and send it to overtime.
 
After a scoreless first overtime, Power would again score on a long pass from Lauren DeVault to give the Lightning a late goal in the 104^th minute and the win.
 
The Eagles outshot the Lightning, 11-8 on the day. Baranowski finished with two saves on the day.

"I thought we played as well as we have all year, but the soccer gods can be cruel sometimes,." coach Matt Micros said. "We were inches from victory multiple times, but it wasn't to be. I give them credit for finding a way to win."
 
"For our girls, we have one game left, and although the playoffs won't happen this year, they have done some tremendous things for such a young group and the future looks very bright. We are hoping to go out on a high note and if we can play the way we did today, Wednesday should be a good game"

 
Up next for the Eagles is their final regular season game of the season as they take on Caldwell in a CACC home game at LaMoy Field. Game time is set for 3 p.m.
