ALLIANCE, Ohio – Mount Union's women's soccer team lost 2-1 in overtime in a non-conference game to Grove City (Pa.) Wednesday night at Mount Union Stadium.

Mount Union falls to 4-2-0 on the season but has still matched the best start to a season in school history as the Raiders were 4-2 to open the 1993 campaign.  Grove City remained undefeated on the season at 6-0-1.

Freshman Shannon Evans (Newbury/Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin) opened with the game's first goal in the 15th minute for the Purple Raiders, which was her team leading fifth goal of the season.

The Wolverines would answer back in the 24th minute with a goal by Grace Rieman.

Both teams had scoring opportunities in the second half but the goalkeepers made great saves to keep the score tied. Goalkeeper Maria Favorite (Chesterland/Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin) would turn away all 11 shots in the second half for the Raiders.

A great scoring chance for Mount Union came in the 81st minute, when sophomore midfielder Gina Wall (Warren/Howland) was fouled right outside of the 18-yard box. After the ensuing free kick, the ball ended up at the feet of Amanda Tamerlano (North Royalton/North Royalton), who pushed the ball just wide of the net.

Chelsea Tarolli would score the game winner for the Wolverines in the 95th minute.

The Purple Raiders continue the current four-game homestand with non-conference games Wednesday at 5 pm versus Waynesburg (Pa.) and Saturday at 2 pm against Geneva (Pa.).
