Minutewomen Fall 2-1 In Double OT At Mason In A-10 Quarterfinals

October 27, 2018 | Women's Soccer

Jenny Hipp's goal forces OT, but women's soccer knocked out of postseason play.

FAIRFAX, Va. - George Mason's Emma Van Der Vorst scored in the 105th minute as the Patriots knocked the UMass women's soccer team out of postseason play 2-1 on Saturday night in the Atlantic 10 Championship quarterfinals at George Mason Stadium. The loss concludes the year with an 11-6-1 overall record in what has been a tremendous season for the Minutewomen under first-year head coach Jason Dowiak.

Van Der Vorst scored the game-winning goal heading home a cross from the far flank into the near post after both sides played a scoreless first overtime period.

The match reached extra time thanks to a goal by Jenny Hipp in the 62nd minute. Hipp's goal from outside the far post came thanks to some nifty passing by Lauren Bonavita and Paige Kozlowski who was able to find Hipp on the opposite side.

Emily Bradshaw put the Patriots (14-5-0) on the board first with a late tally in the 39th minute of the first half. Her goal came off a corner kick where she was able to tap home the score through traffic directly in front of the UMass goal.

UMass keeper Peyton Ryan made some terrific saves to cap her stellar senior season including a diving stop towards the far post on a Van Der Vorst re-direct from the top of the 6-yard box in the 99th minute.

The Minutewomen had a few chances to win outright in regulation with three quality shots in the final four minutes including one in the 90th minute from Erin Doster that skittered just wide of the far post.

Overall, Mason held a slight edge in shots, 14-to-13, and a 6-to-0 advantage in corners. Ryan finished the day with five saves while her counterpart Morgan Symmers made four.

This was UMass' 16th overall tournament appearance and first since 2014. The Minutewomen now hold an 11-11-1 overall record in league postseason play having reached the finals six times with four overall titles since 1993. The Minutewomen last advanced out of the quarterfinals in 2013 thanks to PKs in a scoreless draw with Saint Louis.

Several highlights from the 2018 campaign include:
• UMass' 8 shutouts this season were the most since 2011 (11)
• UMass' 11 wins are the most since 2011 (14)
• UMass' 120 points are its most since 129 in 2001
• UMass' 37 goals are the most since also having 40 in 2000
• UMass' 46 assists are the most since posting 57 in 2001 and rank 10th for a single-season in program history
