WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Sophomore Jordan Lazarich (Deer Park, N.Y./Deer Park) delivered both goals for the Lycoming College women's soccer team, the second in the 95^th minute to give the team a 2-1 win over Gwynedd Mercy University in non-conference action at the Shangraw Athletic Complex on Saturday, Sept. 5.
 
Lazarich scored off a broken play, as senior Katie Cox (Crownsville, Md./Old Mill) pitched a ball into the goal box that the Gwynedd Mercy keeper looked to corral as Lazarich charged in. Lazarich knocked it off to the side and then fired a shot into the right corner, giving Lycoming (1-1 overall) its first win of the year.
 
The Warriors and Griffins (1-1 overall) had many close calls throughout the game, with Lycoming's freshman goalkeeper Helen Ross (Hellertown, Pa./Saucon Valley) (1-1) finishing with eight saves in her first career win and Gwynedd Mercy's Jess Tadley (1-1) finishing with 11 stops.
 
The Griffins had their best chance to break the 1-1 tie in the 62^nd minute, as they used a corner to get two point blank shots off, the second of which Ross saved while on the ground, before a third shot rolled wide.
 
Lycoming controlled much of the half after that, getting in their best position to score with 6:58 left, as it was awarded a penalty shot, but Tadley stopped the shot, setting up the overtime period and dramatic finish.  
 
Gwynedd Mercy got on the board early in the first half, scoring in just the third minute, as Jackie Pierson fired in a shot from close range.
 
Lycoming's offense began to wake up after that, getting some quality chances before they finally found the equalizer in the 17^th minute when senior Meghenn Jackson (Arnold, Md./Broadneck) found Jordan Lazarich (Deer Park, N.Y./Deer Park), who beat her last defender and fired a shot from 12 yards out into the left corner of the net for her 15^th career score.
 
The two-goal game is the fourth of Lazarich's career, while Jackson and Cox each tallied assists in the win. Lycoming posted a 17-16 advantage in shots and each team earned five corner kicks.
 
The Warriors will stay at home for another game on Sunday, Sept. 6, when they host Keystone for a 12 p.m. match at the Shangraw Athletic Complex.
