Box Score Hartford, Conn. – Senior Katie Giberson (Valhalla, N.Y.) scored her fifth goal in four games and converted on an assist by senior co-captain forward Jenny Ley (Warwick, R.I.) for her team's only goal for the second time in as many days, as the Trinity College Bantams managed a 1-1 tie in double overtime against the visiting Bates College Bobcats in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) women's soccer action this afternoon. Trinity stays unbeaten at 3-0-1 and moves to 1-0-1 in the NESCAC while extending its unbeaten streak against the Bobcats to five games. Bates is now 0-2-2 overall and in the league.
Bates struck first when sophomore midfielder Jaimie Cappucci (Saugas, Mass.) fed senior co-captain Tina Tobin (Lowell, Mass.) to break the scoreless tie 20:46 into the contest. Ley hit Giberson with a nifty pass in traffic in front of the Bates goal to tie the game with just under four minutes remaining in an exciting first half that saw the squads combine for 20 shots and the goalkeepers total 12 saves between them.
Trinity senior Lily Pepper (Princeton, N.J.) and Bates senior co-captain Annie Burns (Topsfield, Mass.) stopped six shots apiece in the first half and combined for nine more in the second stanza while holding each team without a goal through the second 45 minutes. Burns added game-saving stops against Trinity senior co-captain forward Leigh Howard (Bethany, Conn.) and Giberson in the first overtime. Bobcat senior Courtney Talcott (Millbury, Mass.) came up with the visitors' closest chance to score in the first overtime, just missing wide left on a hard shot from the top of the box in the 93rd minute. There were few scoring opportunities in the second extra period, although Ley and Giberson nearly connected once more with two seconds on the clock but Giberson's one-timer off pass from the right wing by Ley was just wide right as time expired.
