Wesolowski gives Bullets 2-1 victory over Oswego
September 7, 2003
GENEVA, N.Y.—Senior midfielder Liz Wesolowski (Ursuline/White Plains, N.Y.) netted the game-winning goal with 1:30 remaining in the second half, giving Gettysburg College a 2-1 victory over Oswego State in women’s soccer action this morning at the Heron Cup. The Bullets grabbed their second victory of the weekend to move to 2-1 on the season, while the Lakers dropped their second straight game, falling to 2-2 for the year.
After playing even soccer for the majority of the first half, first-year Katie Myers (Western Voc. Tech. School/Randallstown, Md.) gave the Bullets the 1-0 lead by collecting a long ball from Molly Bauer (Cumberland Valley/Camp Hill, Pa.) and firing it into the right corner of the net.
Coming out of halftime down by just a goal, the Lakers pressed forward early and got the equalizer at the 54-minute mark when sophomore forward Maureen Kasperek (G. Ray Bodley/Fulton, N.Y.) took a through ball and put it past the Gettysburg goalie to for her sixth goal of the season.
The remainder of the half was played equally with both teams having good scoring chances but were unable put them away. Looking as if the game was headed into overtime Wesolowski collected a cross in the 89th minute from junior Jenny Line (Carlisle/Carlisle, Pa.) and chipped it over Alecia Scorsone’s (Geneseo/Geneseo, N.Y.) head for the 2-1 victory.
Sophomore keeper Katie Simmons (Guilderland/Altamont, N.Y.) turned in a strong performance, making three saves. Scorsone also had a good day, making 13 saves in 90 minutes of action.
