Game Results

Shorter scored the game-tying goal with 12 seconds to go in regulation then stuck for the game winner 19 seconds into the second sudden death period to lift the Lady Hawks to a thrilling 11-10 victory SCAD on a very cold Saturday afternoon at Ben Brady Field in Rome, Georgia.

The loss brings SCAD to 1-1 on the young season. The loss was just the second time the Bees have gone down in defeat in 12 all-time NWLL games.  The ladies will look for revenge on April 7 when Shorter comes to Savannah for a conference rematch.

It was all SCAD in the first half as the Bees jumped out to a 5-0 lead early. The Lady Hawks trailed 8-2 with 23:56 to play in the 2^nd period before reeling off four straight goals to make it 8-6.  The Bees seemed to have the game on ice as they were leading by two goals with 21 seconds on the clock.  It was a heartbreaking final 21 seconds.  Shorter's Desiree' Watson-Isom scored with 21 seconds left and Bianca Rojas followed nine seconds later with the equalizer to tie the game at eight and send it to extra periods.
 
Shorter continued its dominance early in the first overtime, scoring two goals to go ahead 10-8 at the 1:36 mark of the first OT, but the Lady Hawks went scoreless over the final 4:36 of the first extra session and SCAD got tallies from Charlotte Walters and reigning NWLL Player of the Year Charlotte Cutts to knot the score at 10 and force sudden death.

The first sudden death saw no scores so it went to a second sudden death period.  Right off the draw to open the second, Rojas intercepted a pass in SCAD's zone, scooped up the ground ball, raced toward goal and fired a shot past SCAD goalie Jenny Danko to end the game.   
Walters led SCAD with a game-high 5 goals and 1 assist.  Kayla Nelson had 2 goals and 1 assist. Haley Fauvelle also added 2 goals for the Bees, while Cutts chipped in one goal and 1 assist.

The Bees return to action on Feb. 24 when they play Davenport University for their first home game of the season. Game time is set for 12 noon at the SCAD Sports Complex.
