In a game that seemed destined for extra-time, Monmouth forward Alexis McTamney shocked all spectators at Owen T Carroll Field, turning and curling a shot into the side netting with five seconds left to give the Hawks a 1-0 win over the Pirates on Sunday evening.The senior McTamney had fluffed a chance much earlier in the game to give Monmouth the lead. After being taken down in the box, the forward had her penalty kick saved by Pirates goalkeeper Anna MacLean, and skied the rebound over the bar.
The save was the first of nine for MacLean, who helped a defense led by senior Cathy Chukaka hold strong for nearly the entire game.
