Scott's Goal in Double OT Lifts Jennies to Win

WARRENSBURG, Mo. (Sept. 2, 2018) - It took nearly 105 minutes, but the No. 1 ranked Central Missouri Jennies Soccer team got a 3-2 win in double overtime against Augustana. The win puts the Jennies at 2-0 this season.

How It Happened
• Central Missouri got on the board first when Makayla Toth found the back of the net in the 30th minute. A pass from Jada Scott inside the box, set up Toth for a one-timer high over the keeper's head. Toth nearly got the Jennies a goal earlier in the match, but the goal was negated for offsides.
• The first half ended with the Jennies leading 1-0, but less than a minute into half number two, the Jennies doubled their lead. Courtney Killian took a pass from Alex Harms and lifted the ball into the upper left hand corner of the net for a 2-0 Jennies lead. 
• Ten minutes later, the Jennies had a chance to go up 3-0 when Scott was fouled in the box. Her penalty kick though went wide right.
• Less than three minutes after the penalty kick, Augustana scored their first goal. Julie Plonsky intercepted a pass from goalkeeper Jordyn Atagi and made a move around her to score into an empty net.
