Offensive Explosion Pushes Panthers Past Pioneers in Overtime

CANTON, Ohio – The Kentucky Wesleyan College women's soccer team saw an offensive explosion on Thursday, defeating Malone University in overtime by a score of 4-3 for their first win in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference this season.  Freshman Madisyn Hunt had a stellar day, scoring two goals and two assists while Kamryn Pulliam tallied two goals including the game winning goal.

The Panthers improve to 1-4 overall and 1-3 in conference play while the Pioneers fall to 2-2-2 overall and 0-1-2 in the G-MAC.

Midway through the first half, Hunt scored a pair of goals less than four minutes apart to put Kentucky Wesleyan ahead 2-0.  The first goal was unassisted after the defense lost the ball, Hunt drilled a shot inside the near post.  Four minutes later, Hunt received a pass from Anna Duff, spun around a defender and found the back of the net on the far post to put the Panthers ahead by two goals.

Malone responded with three straight goals, one in the first half and two in the second, to take a 3-2 lead in the 61st minute.

With just over 20 minutes remaining, Kamryn Pulliam pounced on a deflected shot, putting away the rebound to knot the game at three.  Hunt picked up an assist on the goal.

It only took Kentucky Wesleyan one shot in overtime to take the 4-3 victory.  Hunt beat a defender, made a quick pass to Pulliam who scored her second goal of the game, and the first game winning goal of her career.

The Panthers were outshot 21 to 10 with seven shots on goal.  Hunt led Kentucky Wesleyan with five shots followed by Pulliam with two.  Erica Zetter, Breigh Haase and Madison Haycraft recorded one shot a piece.

Taylor Rentchler made six saves and allowed three goals in 71:38 in the net.  Rachel Kinsolving recorded 28:22 in goal, but did not see any shots.

Kentucky Wesleyan returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 23 as they take on Walsh University with kick off set for 2:30 pm CT in North Canton, Ohio.
