Devils Edged By Drew In Double Overtime, 3-2

Box Score MADISON, NJ - Trailing 2-0 at halftime, Drew scored two goals in the second half before netting the game-winner with 5:10 left in the second overtime to beat the College at Florham Devils by a score of 3-2 in the Battle of Madison Avenue on Wednesday evening.

With the loss, the Devils dropped to 6-12 while the Rangers improved to 8-7-2.

FDU got on the board first and very quickly, as junior midfielder Jennifer DiGioia converted passes from junior forward Claire Donohue and senior defender Nicole Kauffman just 4:59 into the contest.  The Devils continued their outstanding play in the first half, making it 2-0 when junior midfielder Michelle Hickey found the back of the net off a feed from sophomore defender Claudia Falconieri at the 27:38 mark.  FDU held their 2-0 advantage until the 75th minute when Drew got on the board to make it 2-1.  With time ticking down, it looked like FDU would be able to hold on for the victory but the Rangers tallied the game-tying goal with only 1:55 left in regulation.  After a scoreless first overtime session, Drew provided the heroics with 5:10 gone by in the second extra session to pull out the win.

Freshman goalkeeper Anna Bandly was excellent in goal, making nine saves.

The Devils return to action on Saturday, October 27, 2012, at DeSales beginning at 1 pm.  The winner of the game will secure the final bid to the upcoming Freedom Conference Tournament while the loser will be eliminated.
