Box Score The Lancer women's soccer team came from behind on Wednesday night to defeat the McMaster Marauders in the first round of the OUA playoffs to advance to the OUA quarter-finals.
Windsor entered the game as the third seed, while the Marauders came in as the sixth. The Lancers only loss during the regular season came at the hands of McMaster earlier this month in Hamilton.
After the teams failed to find the back of the net in regulation, McMaster's Amy Froome put her team up by one four minutes into the overtime. The Lancers didn't back down and with just one minute remaining in extra time,
Jazmin Martin scored the equalizer, bringing about the shootout at 1-1.
Marauder Cassidy Davis was the first to the spot, but Lancer goaltender
Krystin Lawrence stood tall and made the save. Windsor took an immediate lead when
Cassie Chretien converted on their first attempt. Lawrence then denied Taylor Lambert, giving Windsor a two-goal lead when
Giulia Barile made good on her shot.
McMaster did manage to slip two behind Lawrence, but goals from
Chelsea Zavitz and
Jaclyn Faraci secured the win for the Blue & Gold.
The Lancers will now face the No.1 seed York Lions in the quarter-finals on Sunday October 30th at 1:00pm in Toronto. In their two previous meetings this year, the Lancers came away with a 1-1 draw and a 1-0 win last week on the road.
