Strong Second Half Gives William Paterson 3-2 Win Over FDU

Box Score MADISON, NJ - Trailing 2-0 at halftime, William Paterson erupted for three goals in the second half to earn a 3-2 victory over the College at Florham Devils in non-conference action Monday afternoon.

With the loss, the Devils dropped to 1-8.

The Devils tallied both of their goals in a two minute span late in the first half on beautiful plays.  First, junior midfielder Michelle Hickey booted home a great cross from junior foward Claire Donohue at the 37:24 mark.  FDU then made it 2-0 when sophomore forward Kim Overland headed in a pass from junior midfielder Jennifer DiGioia after DiGioia went on a long run down the right sideline and crossed it back into the middle of the field.  The Pioneers cut it to 2-1 13:24 into the second stanza and tied the game at 2-2 ten minutes later.  William Paterson notched the game-winner with 18:56 left in the game.  FDU had a few chances down the stretch to tie the game but couldn't find the back of the net.

Freshman goalkeeper Anna Bandly suffered the loss, making four saves.

The Devils return to action on Wednesday, September 26, 2012, at Lycoming beginning at 3:30 pm.
