GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - A goal in the final minute of regulation from Morgan Santoro forced overtime, while Victoria Antonino registered the game-winner in double overtime to lead top-seeded Adelphi past eighth-seeded Southern New Hampshire, 2-1, earlier this afternoon during a Northeast-10 Conference Championship Quarterfinal match.
Trailing 1-0 in the 90th minute of play, Santoro was able to line up a free kick outside the 18-yard box for the Brown and Gold (15-2-1). On the attempt, the Islip, N.Y. native put forth a shot that placed perfectly in the top left corner to even the score at 1-1 and force overtime. With that goal, Santoro tied Kimberly Campbell (2000) for the program single-seaon goal record at 23.
Adelphi will host Stonehill in one NE-10 Semifinal Friday.
