Highlanders In Overtime Against the
Golden Eagles
 Houghton,
NY- Sr. Elizabeth Mueller’s (Lancaster, Pa.) game winning goal
finished the Golden Eagles of SUNY Brockport in overtime, 3-2, giving
the Highlanders their first win of the season.
Houghton entered the game with high spirits, starting their first home
stand of the season in front of a capacity crowd. This was short-lived
as the visitors were the first on the scoreboard in the second minute of
play from a rebound goal by Brockport’s Jenn Danker.
The Highlanders regrouped behind Jr. Arryn Prince (Severna Park, Md.)
making several defensive stops behind the goal keeper. The Highlanders
then fired back with two goals, the first by So. CJ Lang in the 14th
minute and the second from Fr. Sarah Buckwalter in the 29th minute, both
goals coming off rebounds.
Going into the second half, Houghton held the lead until the last two
minutes of the game when Brockport’s Allyson Granish sent the game time
into overtime.
The Highlanders wasted little time, taking less than a minute to set up
Mueller for an in-the-box scramble goal.
The Golden Eagles led in shots 9-6 and in penalty corners 12-8 for the
game, leaving the Highlanders with room for improvement before their
next game at home on September 3rd against University of Rochester at
3:30 pm.
Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
