Newberry Wins Defensive Showdown in Overtime

Gallagher's Golden Goal Propels Newberry to Second Straight Victory

Newberry, S.C. - It took an extra frame but Millie Gallagher's goal just over six minutes into the first overtime period sealed Newberry's second win in a row and their second conference win of the season.

The first half of the game was all Wolves offensively as they outshot Converse 11-2 in the first 30 minutes of action, however they could not find the breakthrough. While Converse could only get two shots off in the first half, both of them forced a save by Grace Lee who was once again outstanding between the posts as she recorded her fourth shutout on the year. As neither team could find the breakthrough, we went into the break scoreless.

The third quarter was a complete reversal from what we saw in the first 30 minutes. Converse got off 11 shots in the third 15 minutes of action, six of which forced a save from Lee. Mid-way through the third quarter, Converse thought they had a breakthrough as a shot from outside of the shooting circle went into the back of the net, however the official ruled that it did not hit a stick within the area of the shooting circle and thus the goal was disallowed. 

The best chance for either team in regulation came in the fourth quarter as Converse's Catalina Pistaccio found herself on a breakaway and one on one with Grace Lee. What seemed like a perfect shot to score the potential game winner was turned away by Lee who stood her ground and didn't even allow Pistaccio to shoot anywhere near the cage. As time ticked expired in the fourth quarter, we headed to sudden death overtime.

From this moment on, it was clear that the Wolves would not be denied as they put up six shots and did not allow Converse to shoot at all. With just under four minutes to go in the frame, Lily Drury took the ball down the wing and found Millie Gallagher in front of goal whose initial shot was saved but the rebound came right back to Gallagher and she didn't spoil this second chance as she put it behind Kathryn Daniels and the Wolves stormed off the sideline and mobbed Gallagher as they emerged victorious from this hard fought battle.

The Wolves will conclude this three-game homestand as they face Belmont Abbey on Tuesday under the lights at Setzler Field at 6:30 PM.
