McDonald's Header Pushes Women's Soccer Past Cabrini in OT

HUNTINGDON, Pa.- The Juniata women's soccer team got an OT win over visiting Cabrini, 1-0, when Emma Moreland's (Lebanon, Pa. / Cedar Crest) corner found the head of Fiona McDonald (Langhorne, Pa. / Neshaminy), Saturday afternoon at Gibbel Stadium. 

The Eagles had the only shots of the game at the end of the first half, with Alyssa Bui (Cherry Hill, N.J. / Cherry Hill High School East) putting a shot wide in the seventh minute and Daniela Scipioni (Altoona, Pa. / Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic HS) tested the Cavaliers keeper 30 seconds prior to halftime.  

The second half saw the teams open up a bit, as there were six shots between the two teams, but neither could find the net, so the game went to OT.  

Cabrini got a good look at the Eagle goal in the first overtime, but the header went over the bar. 

This set the stage for the Moreland to McDonald connection to win the game.  

Cati Besch (Bellefonte, Pa. / Bellefonte Area HS) made one save in goal for JC  to earn the shutout.  

The Eagles will travel to Kings, Wednesday at 7:00
