SELINSGROVE, PA – As the second overtime period was coming to a close, the Susquehanna Crusaders drilled a shot to the far left post to take a 1-0 victory over the Juniata women's soccer team Wednesday night. The loss drops the Eagles to 5-7-1 on the season and 1-3 in Landmark Conference play. 

Juniata, Drew, Goucher, Moravian and Susquehanna are now all tied in fourth place in conference standings. The Eagles still have Elizabethtown (3-1 Landmark), Goucher and Catholic (4-0 Landmark) left to play as they make a push for the postseason. 

In the final two minutes of regulation, Juniata pushed to score the game-winner. A shot from Aubrie Christensen (Litiz, PA / Manheim Township) would be blocked and a header from Kristin Racis (Womelsdorf, PA / Conrad Weisler) was high. The Crusaders responded with two efforts of their own but Juniata defended against the corner and Susquehanna's shot would go high to send the conference foes into overtime. 

Juniata and Susquehanna would play pretty even in the first overtime period. The Crusaders led with a 4-3 advantage in shots but Juniata held a 2-1 advantage in shots on goal. 

The second overtime period was heading into its final minute and a half when Susquehanna's Grayclynn Juckes drilled a shot into the lower left corner to sink the game-winner.
