Cregar leads Petrels to comeback victory against Huntingdon

HUNTINGDON—On Friday night, the Oglethorpe women's soccer program picked up its second win of the season against Huntingdon in a 4-2 comeback win. 

The first goal for the women in black and yellow came in the 27th minute off a corner kick. Lily Burford headed the ball into the back of the net to bring the team back into the match after an early lead from Huntingdon. It was the freshman's first goal of the season. The assist of the goal came from Harlow Cregar, the sophomore's second assist of the season.  

After the equalizing goal from Rob King's side, confidence started to grow. Oglethorpe would once again score off a corner kick in the 45th minute. Taylor Whiteside was left alone in the box and made a great run as she emphatically headed the ball into the back of the net. It was the senior's first goal of the season. Cregar once again delivered the assist.  

The third goal came in the 56th minute. Ella Price delivered a great ball to Cregar as she made a great run into the box and calmly stroked the ball past Huntingdon goalkeeper Libby Williams to make it 3-1. It was Cregar's second goal of the season and Price's second assist of the season.

Just a minute later, the fourth goal came as Ella Price had a great strike that went through a tight angle. There were many Huntingdon defenders around her, but it was not a problem for the freshman as it was her second goal of the season. The assist of the goal came from Safiya Said. It was the junior's first assist of the season.  

Huntingdon scored their second goal in the 61st minute. However, Oglethorpe was able to dig deep and preserve the three points. It was a very impressive result for the team to get a road victory. They showed plenty of determination and fight to come from behind and have a dominating performance. Cregar gave an all-star performance with one goal and two assists as she continued to show her importance to the team.
