BAINBRIDGE – When these two teams met earlier this season, Unatego grabbed a 1-0 win over the Lady Bobcats. Tonight, Bainbridge-Guilford wrote a different ending with a 4-1 win in overtime.
The Lady Bobcats scored three goals in the extra sessions – one on the first, at two in the second – setting themselves up to take the win in the crossover game.
At the end of the first half, B-G held the lead of 1-0. But the Lady Spartans did not want to go down easy. Unatego’s Kaitlyn Fortin found the back of the net to tie the game at one apiece. That score remained through the end of regulation, forcing two 10-minute extra periods.
Overtime is where the Bobcats decided that the game was going to end in their favor. Bainbridge-Guilford came out firing as they took eight shots in overtime. Three passed the Spartans goalie, Megan Perry, to give B-G the 4-1 final.
The Bobcats were led by Matraca Harmon as she finished the game with two goals and an assist.
“Both teams played a great game,” said B-G Head Coach Jennifer Henderson. “We played collectively well in overtime. It was a great finish for us to rebound with.”
