No. 6 Lions Defeat No. 10 Gauchos In Double Overtime

March 9, 2002

Los Angeles, CA -- The 6th-ranked Loyola Marymount University Lions defeated the 10th-ranked UC Santa Barbara Gauchos 6-5 in double-overtime at the Burns Aquatics Center Pool Saturday afternoon. Jamie Kroeze secured the Lions' victory with 12 seconds left to play in the second overtime period.

The Lions (9-3) came out strong in the game with Lucy Windes and Teresa Guidi putting their goals in the back of the net. UCSB was able to score before the end of the first with Erin Lezak getting her shot off at the buzzer for the score.

In the second period, the Lions kept coming with the goals with Orla Stewart adding her solo goal, and T. Guidi putting her second goal through the net. The Gauchos were able to draw the four-meter penalty and convert for the goal as Teresa Gorbett scored to bring the score to 4-2.

The Gauchos (12-10) came out with a much stronger second half to tie the score. Jenny Holladay and Kelley Tiffany both added their tallies for the Gauchos in the third, as the Lions were held to just one goal scored by freshman Jessica Conner.

Katy Kunkel added the game-tying goal in the fourth quarter, as the Lions were held scoreless for the game to go into overtime.

Defense was the key in the first overtime period as the two teams held each other without a score. With 12 seconds left to play the Lions offense found Kroeze open to put away the game-winning goal.

Next the Lions will host the 2002 LMU Invitational on Friday and Saturday next week with teams from Indiana, Bucknell, Massachusetts, Redlands and Cal Baptist facing off at the Burns Aquatics Center with the Lions.
