Freshman Kaitlin McGee led the Dons to an improbable 2-1 overtime victory over second seeded Berean Christian in a thrilling NCS quarterfinals match on Saturday. The Eagles scored midway through the first half on a beautiful long shot in the flow of play and led 1-0 at halftime. The Dons offense was shut down by the Eagles defense throughout the first half.The Dons continued to struggle to find their offensive rhythm through much of the second half. More than halfway through the period the Eagles star player muffed an open goal opportunity, which seemed to give the Dons new spirit. Then senior keeper Angela LaScala-Gruenewald made a spectacular sure-handed save on a close range shot and the tide seemed to turn further. With less than 10 minutes to play McGee calmly resisted two defenders and fed junior Emily Lindsay who blasted in the Dons lone goal in regulation.
Less than a minute into golden goal (first goal wins) overtime, after receiving a pass from junior Anja Simonsen, McGee faked out a defender, drove toward the left end line and deftly angled the ball past the Eagles goalie for the winning goal. The Dons mobbed the freshman hero and Acalanes’ large fan contingent erupted in celebration. Principal Glimme offered the team her congratulations after the game.
