FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Chapman's Last Minute Goal Lifts Mansfield to 2-2 Tie

MANSFIELD – Kelsey Chapman drilled a goal in the last minute of regulation to force overtime as Mansfield and IUP battled to a 2-2 tie in a well-played PSAC women's soccer game Friday afternoon.

Mansfield carried play for the first 20 minutes of the game getting off the first five shots of the game.

IUP scored the game's first goal when Tori Pikur took a bounding ball off a corner kick and put it into the upper left corner of the net in the 36th minute.

IUP took the 1-0 lead into halftime and Mansfield again carried play for the early part of the second half. An IUP foul four minutes into the second half led to a penalty kick for Mansfield's Karyn Anelmo. The junior beat the goalie to her left with a well-placed shot into the right hand side of the net to tie the score at 1-1.

IUP retook the lead in the 60th minute when Michelle Grozinsky scored on a break-away set up by a long lead pass from Haily Emirck.

With time running out, Chapman broke free on the right side of the field, beating her defender and drilled a perfectly placed shot high into the left corner of the net to tie the game at 2-2 with 38 seconds remaining the regulation.

Mansfield had a number of close opportunities in the first overtime including a shot on goal by freshman Danielle Lentz. The Mountaineer defense was stellar in the second overtime, thwarting two IUP corners kicks in the final two minutes of the game.

Junior goalie Alana Krieger went the distance stopping eight shots.
