BOXSCORE

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. — The Kutztown University women’s soccer team couldn’t find the game-winner needed to earn a postseason berth, tying Bloomsburg 2-2 in double overtime Tuesday.

Raven Chiara (so. Jamesburg, N.J./Monroe Twp.) tied the game at 2 with 6:22 left to force overtime in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East contest, but the game-winner eluded KU (9-5-3, 4-5-2 PSAC East). KU needed a win to remain alive in the playoff hunt.

Kim Kelty (sr. Levittown/Neshaminy) recorded her 11th assist of the season on Chiara’s goal, setting the new KU record for assists in a single season (Tanya Woods, 1992).

KU opened the scoring with a goal from Kelly Bushe (fr. Neptune City, N.J./Neptune) off a corner kick by Diana Hopper (so. New York, NY/Ramapo) in the 7th minute.

Bloomsburg (7-5-3, 5-3-3 PSAC East) tied it in the first half with a goal from Kelsey Stoka at the 19:34 mark, and she scored again at the 60:52 mark to forge a 2-1 lead.

The Golden Bears had an opportunity late in the second overtime when Julie Folsom (sr. Wanaque, N.J./Lakeland) broke free on goal but Bloomsburg keeper Brittany Moses made the save to preserve the tie.

Stefanie Bonsky (fr. Manahawkin, N.J./Southern Regional) made three saves for the Golden Bears while playing all 110 minutes in net.

KU will return home for its final home game of 2007 at Keystone Field at noon Saturday against Edinboro when the Golden Bear seniors will be recognized.
