PHILADELPHIA – The Georgian Court University women's soccer squad defeated host-Philadelphia University, 1-0, in double overtime on an 110th-minute goal Tuesday afternoon in CACC action.

The match-deciding goal came on a corner kick taken by Taylor Reinecke that found Nicole Petrosino in a crowd about seven yards away from the net. Petrosino deposited into the left side of the net with 22 seconds remaining to give Georgian Court (2-1-1, 2-0-0 CACC) the win.

Philadelphia (0-2-0, 0-2-0 CACC) had an opportunity in the first overtime on a free kick taken by senior defender Nicole Van Bourgodien (Southold, N.Y./Southold) 30 yards away, but Georgian Court's Casey O'Connor was able to reach up and make the save.

With 9:45 left in regulation, sophomore midfielder Patrice Maro (Westmont, N.J./Haddon Twp.) attempted a blast from 20 yards out that was heading just under the crossbar, but the shot was punched over the crossbar by a leaping O'Connor.

Sophomore goalkeeper Courtney Shaw (Langhorne, Pa./Villa Joseph Marie) made three saves for Philadelphia in a losing effort. O'Connor finished with four saves.

The Rams had a 14-7 shot advantage, 10-5 at the end of regulation.
