Box Score
DES MOINES, Iowa – A golden goal by freshman Alyssa Brand (Skokie, Ill.) at the 92:00 (91:42) mark lifted Drake (1-1) women's soccer past Pacific on Sunday, Aug. 23 at the Cownie Soccer Complex.
Brand's first career goal came quickly in the first extra period as she collected the ball deep at midfield and fired a rocket towards the right lower corner. Pacific (0-2) goalkeeper Melissa Ma dove, got two hands on the ball, but Brand's shot had enough force and backspin it slipped past Ma into the back of the net for the game winner. Brand finished with a game-high four shots, including three on goal.
Sophomore Hannah Wilder (Wheatfield, Ill.) pulled Drake even at 1-1 in the first period. Wilder's first career goal came at the 42:00 (41:59) mark after sophomore Kasey Hurt's (Ankeny, Iowa) drilled a ball that was blocked by Ma, but Wilder collected the carom and scored to even the contest. Hurt was credited with an assist.
The Tigers' lone goal came courtesy of Hannah Stammer who slipped past the Bulldogs' defense at the 22:00 (21:42) mark in the first half and snuck one past goalkeeper Brooke Dennis (Wauconda, Ill.) for the game's opening goal.
Drake travels to South Dakota on Aug. 27 for its first road game of 2015. Game time versus the Coyotes is scheduled for 4 p.m.
