Box Score The women's soccer team lost to Centre College in Danville, Ky.
on Sunday afternoon, 2-1. Despite appearing offsides, the Colonels
scored the game-winning goal on a service into the box with less
than five seconds remaining in regulation.
The Petrels battled hard all afternoon and nearly managed to
hand the Colonels, ranked nationally, their first loss of the
season. Trailing 1-0, Oglethorpe got the equalizer in the 38th
minute when freshman Clara St. Urbain beat a slew of defenders for
her team-high 6th goal of the season.
The score remained level at one apiece until the dying seconds
when Centre played a ball inside the Petrels box. Though the
Colonel player appeared to have come offsides, the ensuing goal
with just 4 ticks left on the clock gave them the dramatic win.
Oglethorpe is now 6-2 on the season and will return home to face
Dallas and Austin in weekend play on Salamone Field.
