Corso Leads Falcons to 1-0 Overtime Win

New Haven, CT - The Albertus Magnus College Women's Soccer team used an overtime goal off the leg of freshman forward Sam Corso (Derby, CT/Derby) to defeat Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) opponent Simmons College on Tuesday afternoon.  Corso finished a ball off the post after junior forward Krystal Quinones blasted a shot off of sophomore goal keeper  Ashley Donaghey (Framingham, MA/Framingham) in the 93rd minute.

The Falcons were able to get the key GNAC win as they are battling for a home playoff game.  Albertus outshot Simmons 20-7 on the game including nine shots on goal.

Simmons threatened to score in the 20th minute when sophomore defender Samantha Farley (Shelton, CT/Shelton) cleared a sure goal out of the goal to keep the game scoreless.

Albertus had a scoring opportunity in the 32nd minute when junior Sarah Boudreau (Pascoag, RI/Burrilville) blasted a header that Donaghey made a diving save to keep score 0-0.

Corso would have her first scoring opportunity in the 61st minute when Donaghey made a point blank save just 3 yards outside of the goal to keep the game tied.

Albertus improves to 10-6-1, 7-3-1 GNAC while Simmons drops to 6-9-1, 5-6-0 GNAC.  The Falcons clinched a playoff berth and conclude their regular season in Standish, ME on Saturday at 1:00 pm when they take on GNAC opponent St. Joseph's College (ME).
