9/30/2018 6:33:00 PM | Field Hockey
LYNCHBURG, VA. – Battling a 2-0 deficit, the Deacons scored two goals in the second period and one goal in double overtime to lift Wake Forest over the Flames 3-2 on Sunday afternoon.
Liberty (8-3) got on the board early with two goals in the first 20 minutes of play. The first goal came off a penalty corner as Agueda Moroni who ranks second in the NCAA in goals per game, got past Wake Forest keeper Isla Bint for her 17th goal of the season. The Flames extended their lead as Abby Julius found Jill Bolton on the cross to give Liberty a 2-0 lead in the first period.
Wake Forest (6-5) answered back out of the break as junior Kelsey Gill scored off the rebound for her first goal of the season in the 41st-minute to cut Liberty's lead down to one.
Reigning ACC and NFHCA Offensive Player of the Week, Jule Grashoff, scored the equalizer in the 61st-minute with her eighth goal of the season. She dribbled around the goalie and lifted the ball into the back of the net to tie the game 2-2.
Both defenses held strong, not allowing either team to score in the final minutes of regulation or the first overtime period. With only nine minutes remaining in the match, Alexis Grippo was awarded a penalty stroke and converted for her third goal of the season to hand the Deacons the 3-2 victory on the road.
Wake Forest only posted two shots in the first half, but recorded 10 shots in the second and overtime periods. Grashoff led the Deacons with three shots, all on goal, while Gill and Grippo each added two.
Bint recorded 90 minutes in the net and earned her sixth win of the season. She finished the game with six saves and now has 34 saves on the year.
The Deacons will return to Kentner Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 7 to face Appalachian State, but will first travel to Chapel Hill, N.C., to face ACC foe and No. 1 North Carolina on Saturday, Oct. 6. Both matches are slated for 1 p.m.
