Freshman Sydney Carney (Northborough, Mass.) scored off a rebound in front in the 104^th minute to lift the Southern New Hampshire University women's soccer team to a 2-1 double-overtime victory against 19^th-ranked Adelphi University on Saturday evening at Penmen Stadium.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS

• Carney's fourth goal of the season is her second overtime winner.
• Senior Miranda Peloquin (Greenville, R.I.) also found the back of the net for the Penmen.
• Freshman goalkeeper Hannah Rose (Waterloo, Ontario) racked up a career-high nine saves.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Southern New Hampshire went ahead, 1-0, midway through the 14^th minute when freshman Dorthea Glorud (Brumunddal, Norway) settled a ball in the box and dished it out to the top for Peloquin, who ripped a shot that went off the fingers of diving goalkeeper Krista Aliscio and inside the left post.
• The Penmen kept the pressure on early in the second half, with Peloquin nearly scoring her second of the game in the 49^th minute, but her blast from inside the 18 rang off the crossbar.
• Adelphi would gain the equalizer in the 53^rd minute when Alexsis Weiser booted a shot from 30 yards out on the right that sailed over a fully-outstretched Rose and into the far top corner to make it 1-1.
• The Panthers nearly went ahead for the first time in the 59^th minute, as Kerianne Scorce dribbled in toward the box on the endline and sent a low shot past a diving Rose, but Carney was able to deflect it out of danger on the goal line.
• The back-and-forth continued early in the 63^rd minute, as Carney won a 50-50 ball, sped down the field and slotted a beautiful thru-ball to senior Danielle Humphreys (Hebron, Conn.), who chased it down deep on the right flank and was able to put a hard shot on net, but right into the waiting arms of Aliscio.
• Rose saved the game with under a minute remaining in the first overtime when Michelle Wienecke ripped a shot from straight on inside the box, but Rose leaped to knock it down and then dove to the turf to cover the ball up.
• Just under four minutes into the second extra session, graduate student Sydney Crema (Litchfield, N.H.) dribbled into the left side of the 6-yard box before dishing a pass to Carney. Carney's initial shot was stopped by Aliscio, but Carney stuck with it and sent a left-footed poke into the back of the net.
