via Stetson press release   Quinnipac’s Allison Kuhn scored the game-winning goal just over three minutes into overtime as the Bobcats edged Stetson, 14-13, in the season-opener for both team Sunday at the Athletic Training Center. In a back-and-forth affair in which the largest lead was two goals, Stetson (0-1) forced overtime when Taylor Zuberer scored with 5:03 to play in the second half. The Hatters had three chances to take the lead in the final minutes of regulation but couldn’t find the net. Stetson and Quinnipiac (1-0) spent the entire afternoon exchanging goals. Shelby Lehmann scored five goals in the first half for the Hatters but Stetson trailed, 7-6, when the game reached halftime. Sandra Stephan scored a pair for the Hatters to start the second half as Stetson squeaked ahead, 8-7. Hannah Mill and Karli Maguire each scored to make it 10-9, and Maguire added a second goal for an 11-10 advantage with 16:56 to go. Quinnipiac responded with three straight goals over the next seven minutes – the first time all game either team scored consecutive goals – taking a 13-11 advantage with 9:40 to play.   Marina Rotella pulled the Hatters within 13-12 before Zuberer knotted the game and helped Stetson force overtime. The game was a statistical dead heat as shots (30-31), ground balls (25-24) and draw controls (16-14) were virtually tied.
