Women鈥檚 soccer still unbeaten after miracle finish in Hartford 

When the Trinity College (Hartford, Connecticut) women鈥檚 soccer team scored in the 83rd minute to take a 2-1 lead on their home field this Sunday, it looked like the 3-0-1 Skidmore women鈥檚 team might suffer their first loss of the season.  

Happily, there鈥檚 no quit in these Thoroughbreds, ranked third in Region III in a United Coaches poll. Junior (Burlington, Connecticut) equalized 30 seconds later from distance off an assist from sophomore鈥�  (East Greenwich, Rhode Island) and in the 87th minute, senior鈥�鈥�(Winchester, Massachusetts) completed the improbable converting a penalty kick after being fouled in the box. 

It was Stone鈥檚 fourth goal of the weekend (she had a hat trick the day before at Eastern Connecticut State in a 3-1 win) and second consecutive game-winner, which led to her being named . After four games, Stone has five goals and an assist, just one fewer goal than all of last year. 

In the Eastern Connecticut victory, all three Skidmore goalkeepers made an appearance, with first-year player 鈥�(Sandown, New Hampshire) recording her first career save in her collegiate debut.

Tied 1-1 in Saturday鈥檚 opener against SUNY Geneseo, thanks to a first-half strike from sophomore   (Long Meadow, Massachusetts), the Thoroughbreds pressed the Knights over the final 20 minutes, posting five of the game's final seven shots, but they couldn鈥檛 break through.  

Junior (Springfield, New Jersey) had the assist against Geneseo, his first career point, and also helped set up the opportunity that led to an unassisted goal by senior (Lexington, Massachusetts) Sunday against Worcester Polytechnic Institute 鈥� a 2-1 loss for the Thoroughbreds.
