Woodworth's Last Minute Goal Gives Raiders 5-4 Win

ERIE, Pa. – Mount Union's women's soccer team beat Penn State Behrend 5-4 on the road in a non-conference matchup on Wednesday night.

The Purple Raiders (2-0-2) struck first when junior Kaela Turle (Twinsburg) found senior Andrea Decker (Hilliard / Hilliard Bradley) for a goal in the fourth minute.

The Lions (1-4) would answer with a goal of their own a minute later when Emily Clopp found the back of the net to tie the game at one. Penn State Behrend would take the lead in the 17th minute coming off a goal by Trinity Prestash.

Mount Union would tie the game when junior Emily Beach (Gahanna / Gahanna Lincoln) scored her first career goal off an assist from Decker in the 23rd minute.

Senior Madison Pepper (Uniontown / Lake) found the back of the net in the 49th minute off an assist from Beach to give the Raiders a 3-2 lead.

The Lions would answer again when Kristi Buckenheimer scored off a penalty kick in the 55th minute tying the game at three.

The Raiders would reclaim the lead in the 88th minute when Pepper scored her second goal of the night, but Penn State Behrend would tie the game less than a minute later when Lizzie Hoff found the back of the net to tie the game at four.

Freshman Alanna Woodworth (Amherst / Steele) scored with less than a minute to go off an assist from Decker to give the Raiders a 5-4 victory.
