NEW LONDON, N.H. - The Colby-Sawyer women's soccer team registered a big second half to beat the Regis Pride 3-2 in regulation. 

Rapid Recap:

• The Pride jumped to an early 1-0 lead in the first four minutes of play, with Colleen Curran scoring off a cross from Maeve Glavin and missplay by the Chargers keeper. The Chargers would look for immediate response off of a corner service from senior Kara Keiper (Peterborough, N.H.) that would find junior Bridget O'Connell (Peabody, Mass.) for a header shot which was saved by the keeper, Daniela Mazo. The two teams would continue to battle, both peppering keepers with shots and applying pressure to the others back lines. Galvin would give the Pride their 2-0 lead going into halftime with a rebound shot off of the hands of graduate student Alexis LeBreton (Bangor, Maine.). 
• The Chargers would come out of their halftime discussion firing on all cylinders with Keiper and graduate student Hannah Marquis (Weare, N.H.) both registering early shots on net. The pressure from the home team would lead to a loose ball in the box fed from Keiper which found the foot of O'Connell to notch the first score for the Chargers. The next twenty minutes of the match would stay in the momentum of the home squad maintaining the majority of possession. A breakaway on the sideline for senior Sam Bishop (Windham, N.H.) would lead to a perfect cross to O'Connell in the box, who would get a head on it to find the upper 90 of the net evening the score at 2 a piece. Minutes later a hustle play from Keiper on the far sideline would lead to a four on three opportunity for the Chargers. Keiper would feed the ball over the top of the back line finding Marquis who would place a header just over the reach of the keeper to take a 3-2 lead over the Pride. The Pride would earn a free kick in the 88th minute, playing a cross to Glavin but a clutch defensive save by Marquis would seal the victory for the Chargers. 

Post Game Press:
"We were just not ready to be done, we talked about it at half time."  Graduate student Hannah Marquis (Weare, N.H.) said, "We left everything on the field. Being able to come back, we know we have the fire and the fight going in as the underdogs the next round!"

Inside the Numbers: 

• O'Connell lead the offensive push registering two goals on the afternoon, followed by Marquis notching the game winner. 
• Keiper and Bishop lead the passing with the seniors assisting all three Charger scores. 
• LeBreton would tab two saves and two goals against in their 48 minutes of play. First year Rylee Suchenicz (South Hadley, Mass.) earned her first collegiate win tabbing 41 minutes in goal with one save.
