South Florida women find scoring touch and a win against Stetson


A slight pattern is developing; if the USF women (3-4-1) score more than once in a game, they win. The Bulls came back from a 2-1 deficit to tie the match and then win it in overtime on the road against the Hatters (4-4-0).

USF's Chantelle Goodson scored her first goal of the season on a long range shot in the thirty-sixth minute that glanced off the crossbar and into the goal. Freshman Bahar Sansar assisted on the Goodson goal.

Stetson responded to the strike with a pair of early second half goals by Heather Berg and it appeared that USF might loose its third consecutive match. In the seventy-second minute, the Bulls' leading scorer Noelle Pineiro connected on a pass by Taylor Patterson and scored her fifth goal of the season to tie the match.

The match then went into extra time and with just four minutes remaining in the second OT period, Pineiro was once again part of the scoring for USF. She found sophomore Chelsea Klotz [above], who scored the game winner. Klotz has scored three goals this season.

South Florida now will travel north, for a Thursday game against conference rival Pittsburgh.
