Box Score NEW LONDON, N.H. - The Colby-Sawyer women's soccer team defeated Dean College 4-3 in a thrilling Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) match on Wednesday afternoon. The win over the Bulldogs improved the Chargers conference record to 2-1. 

Rapid Recap: 

• The Chargers offensive made quick work on the Bulldogs backline firing off four shots in the opening eight minutes. Senior Bridget O'Connell (Peabody, Mass.) was fouled inside the eighteen-yard box to earn a penalty kick for the Chargers. O'Connell stepped up to take the penalty shot and calmy slotted the ball into the right side of the net to give the Chargers the 1-0 led. 
• Shortly after the penalty kick, Jazzy Sztyler-Magee evened the score line in the 17^th minute to make it 1-1. The Chargers continued to push the attack to keep the Bulldog goalkeeper Haley Gaunt on her toes. Junior Kara Keiper (Peterborough, N.H.) broke through Dean's defense and recorded her third goal of the season to put the Chargers up 2-1. 
• In the second half, Bridget extended the Chargers led to 3-1 after finding the back of the net in the 46^thminute. Once again, Sztyler-Magee responded by notching her second goal of the day to narrow the Chargers led to 3-2. 
• At the 79^th minute, Sztyler-Magee squeezed a right-footed shot past the diving effort of senior goalkeeper Alexis LeBreton (Bangor, Maine) to tie the game at 3-3. In the final minute of the match, senior Marissa Cournoyer (Concord, N.H.) hit a one-timer shot at the top of the box that slipped under Gaunt's hands to secure the Chargers 4-3 win.  

Player Spotlight: 
"I think that everyone played very well," said O'Connell. "We had quite a few players injured today, so our starting lineup was a little different, but everyone showed up to play today. I think Marissa was a big part of everything. She got the game winning goal which we needed, and it just goes to show that the players that come off the bench, and the players that we needed today, to takeover showed up and worked hard. It was a very good win. 
 
We need to keep working on getting our shots on target. It has been a pattern the past couple of games where we outshoot our opponents, so we just need to work on getting those shots in and taking advantage of our opportunities when we have them."
 
Coaches Corner: 
"Dean gave us all we could handle today," said head coach Anthony Cosky. "It was a back-and-forth battle and fortunately we found a way to score with less than a minute left to get the much needed three points. I give Dean a lot of credit today, especially to Sztyler-Magee and Gaunt. We had trouble containing Sztyler-Magee who was dangerous every time she touched the ball and Gaunt made some great saves at key moments in the game.
 
What a play at the end to win the game with Senior Marissa Cournoyer hitting a beautiful one-timer. Big time and showed our resiliency and got it done.  
 
We have a couple good days of training and need to be prepared for a very tough Lasell team."
