EASTON, PA –  Lafayette's Molly McAndrew flipped a shot up and over a sliding Kate O'Hogan (Dublin, Ireland / Mount Anville Secondary) in the 77th minute to give the Leopards a 2-1 double-overtime victory over No. 25 Monmouth, Sunday afternoon at Rappolt Field.

Monmouth got on the board first in the opening quarter as freshman Collen Craven (Moorestown, NJ / Moorestown) intercepted the ball near the attacking 25-yard line and drew the Hawks' second penalty corner of the afternoon.  On the set piece, junior Hannah Schiavo (Glen Gardner, NJ / Voorhees) sent the insert to graduate Stefanie Bigler (North Vancouver, BC / Seycove Secondary School) who set up Ireen Frenken's (Tilburg, Netherlands / Odulphus Lyceum) sweep from the top of the circle to give the Hawks the lead they would carry into the second half.

Lafayette evened things up 4:31 into the second half, knocking in a rebound shot on the weak side post.

The Hawks had a trio of opportunities in the first overtime session.  Josephine van der Hoop (Rotterdam, The Netherlands / Wolfert van Borselen) was alone in the circle, but her shot attempt was blocked by Lafayette's keeper, Sarah Park.  The Hawks broke out on a two-on-none fast break, but the cross was broken up by Park, while Annick van Lange's (Sint-Job, Belgium / Annuntia Institute) quality chance towards cage went wide with the keeper drawn out.  The Hawks' defense spoiled three corner chances in the overtime periods.
