Last-second goal lifts Ferrum over Bishop women, 2-1

Ferrum, VA - In Thursday afternoon USA South women's soccer action, the Panthers of Ferrum College broke a 1-1 tie with just 37 seconds remaining to steal a 2-1 victory from North Carolina Wesleyan.  The Bishops, who held an early 1-0 lead, gave up two unanswered goals in falling to 4-5-1 on the season, 2-3 in conference play.  Ferrum now stands at 4-7 overall, 1-2 in league action.

Wesleyan got on the board first when sophomore Reva McCloud took a pass from Mayra Gomez and converted the breakaway goal just 16:58 into the match.  The Panthers answered with a Corinne Musanti goal in the 37th minute to send the two squads into the break tied 1-1.

The second half saw the Bishops get out-shot 7-1, but goalie Cary Trump recorded three saves to preserve the tie.  Just as it seemed the game was headed for overtime, Musanti found Cara Kolina in the box for the gamewinner at the 89:23 mark.

The Panthers out-shot Wesleyan 12-4 in the match.  Unfortunately for the Bishops, McCloud's was the only shot-on-goal of the day.

FC's Sarah Hutzler earned the win in goal, while Trump took the tough loss after recording six saves.

The Bishops will return to USA South conference action next Wednesday when they host Methodist College at 4:00 p.m.
