Teaneck, N.J. (October 28, 2021)--For the second game in a row, the Mount St. Mary's women's soccer team took one of the top teams in the Northeast Conference into overtime before falling by a score of 2-1.  Madison Bee scored the tying goal for the Mount in the 59th minute.

Mount St. Mary's had a chance to tie in the 58th minute, but Elisabeth Rockhill's shot from just outside the top of the box was stopped by FDU keeper Malen Nielsen.  The Mount was able to get the equalizing goal just one minute later.  Emily Streett had a free kick near midfield and she loft a perfect ball to the top of the box on the left side.  Isabella Wendler headed the kick to Bee, who knocked home a left-footed shot caromed off the inside of the right post and into the goal to even the score.  It was Bee's second goal of the year.

The game remained deadlocked at 1-1 until late in the second overtime when FDU's Naemi Hausen headed home a Briana Esteves cross for the winning tally.  The victory clinched an NEC Tournament berth for the Knights.

FDU had a 17-to-3 shot advantage in the game, including a 7-to-3 margin in shots on goal. Lembryk made five saves for the Mount in the game while Nielsen had a pair of stops for FDU.
