Box Score
CLINTON, S.C. - Junior Katelyn George's goal in the 87th minute capped visiting Navy's (0-1-1) comeback to secure a 2-2 double-overtime draw with Presbyterian College (0-1-1) in women's soccer action on Sunday afternoon at Martin Stadium.
After falling behind early 2-0, Navy regrouped to put two goals on the board in the second half to salvage the tie.
Presbyterian first got on the board in the eighth minute when a shot from Melanie Martin found its way into the net off an assist from Brittany Whitson.
The Blue Hose increased their lead to 2-0 in the 18th minute when Kate Baker received the ball heading towards goal and drew the Navy goalkeeper away from the net. Baker then made a move around the keeper and kicked the ball into the empty net.
Senior Christine Calderon netted her second goal of the season in the 59th minute when she redirected a ball played into the box by sophomore Fallon Puppolo.
Trailing 2-1 with time running out, Puppolo played a corner kick to George in front of the net, which the third-year defender headed in for a goal to send the game into overtime just three minutes later.
The Mids outshot the Blue hose 6-1 in the two overtime periods but could not capitalize with the game-winner. Navy took 37 shots (19 shots on goal) in the game, the most taken by the team since it registered 41 against Mount St. Mary's in 1998.
The Midshipmen will next play Mount St. Mary's on Friday at 7 p.m. The game will be Navy's 2010 home opener.
