KEUKA STORMS BACK IN OVERTIME VICTORY

Less than two minute later Britni Burch pulled Keuka within one goal on assist from Nicole Sharick as the momentum began to shift in favor of the Storm.

Mattraw found the back of the net for her second goal of the game in the 61st minute as it appeared the Express would hold off the onslaught from Keuka.  However, the Storm continued to pressure inside the offensive zone of Wells and it would pay off. Drawing a corner kick in the 78th minute, the ensuing kick would find Sharick who sent a shot past Cassie Smythe -- who finished with 18 saves – pulling the Storm back to within one (4-3). Keuka tied the game just moments later on goal by Elly Disbrow, tying the game at 4-all and forcing overtime.
