BEVERLY, Mass. -- Ashleigh Allen drove home the game-winner 1:53 into overtime as Endicott College completed a comeback from two goals down in a 3-2 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) field hockey victory over the University of New England on Tuesday evening (Sep. 23) at North Field.

Allen's shot in the extra session was the first of the frame. For the night, UNE held a 22-12 edge in shot attempts.

Big Blue allowed limited scoring chances to the Gulls in the opening stanza, and finally broke through for the initial lead with 0:07 left before intermission on a goal by first-year Olivia Madore.

Then 2:40 after halftime, sophomore Nicole Matarozzo doubled the cushion for the Nor'easters.

For Endicott, Francheska Ventura made 12 saves, while her counterpart, UNE sophomore Holly Smith, turned in five stops.
