George Mason converts Penalty Kick in Second Overtime, Hens fall 2-1

 FAIRFAX, VA -- Katy McGee converted a penalty kick with 34 seconds left in the second overtime to give George Mason a 2-1 victory over Delaware in a Colonial Athletic Association women's soccer match Sunday afternoon.

Katy Robertson was tripped in the left side of the penalty area by a Blue Hen defender to set up the game-winning goal. McGee put the penalty kick into the lower-right corner of the goal at 109:26.

The Patriots got on the board first when Robertson knocked home a rebound just under the cross bar from 20-yards out, past Delaware goalkeeper Lindsay Shover. Caroline Kent took the initial shot, which was stopped by Shover, but the loose ball found the foot of Robertson and she put George Mason ahead, 1-0 at 20:50.

The Blue Hens responded with the game's tying goal when Caryn Blood lofted her shot into the upper-left corner from 15-yards out at 59:22. Christina Martinik picked up an assist on Blood's team-leading fifth goal of the season.

Shover had eight saves in a losing effort for the Blue Hens. Sarah Coughlin played the second half and the two overtime periods had three saves for the Patriots. Naomi Hines added three saves in the first half.

George Mason (5-8, 3-2 CAA) held a 17-15 advantage in shots, including an 8-0 edge in the overtime periods. The Hens owned a 9-1 advantage in corner kicks.

Delaware (6-5-1, 2-2-1 CAA) returns to action Wednesday when it hosts Penn at 7 p.m.
