- Record: Assumption (2-1, 1-0 NE-10), Southern Connecticut St. (0-3-1, 0-1 NE-10)

- Location: New Haven, Conn.

The Lead: After giving up a game-tying goal in the 88th minute, Assumption regrouped and junior Amanda Arnold (Saco, Maine / Thornton Academy) came through with a game-winner just 3:23 into the extra session to lift the team to a 3-2 win in its Norteast-10 Conference opener at Southern Connecticut State on Saturday.

HOW IT HAPPENED

- The Hounds jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute on a Kallie Villemaire's (Plattsburgh, N.Y. / Beekmantown) first goal of the season, off a feed from Arnold.

- SCSU evened the score with just under five minutes left in the first half, but Arnold put Assumption back in front 2-1 at 51:15 on a breakaway.

- The Owls threatened in the final minutes, and eventually came up with a game-tying goal in the 88th minute as Christine Allard headed in a free kick to knot the score 2-2.

- Arnold got a breakaway attempt just three minutes into overtime and came through with the goal to provide the overtime win.
