FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Mansfield Gets First Win of Season in OT Victory at Shippensburg

SHIPPENSBURG – Bri Carr's corner kick just over a minute into overtime deflected off a defender and into the goal to lift Mansfield to a 1-0 win over Shippensburg in a PSAC contest Tuesday afternoon.

The two teams battled to a scoreless draw over the 90 minutes or regulation before Mansfield was awarded a corner kick in the 91:25 mark.

Carr lofted a shot into the goal area that initially looked as if Mansfield's Sara Weaver touched it into the lower left hand corner of the net.

However the goal was reversed to an own goal by the official scorer after reviewing the play following the conclusion of the game.

Scoring opportunities were especially slim in the first half with Shippensburg getting off just three shots on goal to Mansfield's one.

Shippensburg carried play a bit more in the second half putting four shots on goal to one for Mansfield from Carr.

Senior Alana Greenawalt had a strong game in goal for the Mountaineers stopping all eight shots to record her second career shutout.

Kayla Kennedy had two saves for Shippensburg.

Shippensburg held the advantage in both shots of goal (7-2 and corner kicks (5-2).

The win was the first of the season for the Mountaineers and the first victory over Shippensburg since recording a 2-1 decision in 2008. It also marked Mansfield's first win at Shippensburg since the program was founded in 2002.

Mansfield hosts Millersville this Saturday as part of LUMA 2014 starting at 3 p.m. on Karl Van Norman Field.
