forward Jen Killion's (Cambridge, Mass.)
equalizer in the 89th minute of regulation forced an extra period
while junior goalkeeper Kelly Callahan's (Monson,

Thursday, fresh off a 0-0 tie with Lesley University, on Sunday,
Sept. 5. The Mustangs are 1-0-1 on the season thanks to a 3-0 win
over Bay Path College on Sept. 1. Heather Harrington
(Bedford, N.H.) scored twice, once off a corner kick by
Tracy Koukol (North Attleboro, Mass.) and again on

(Cambridge, Mass.). Tisbert later found Michelle
Alessi (Salem, Mass.) who scored Mount Ida's final
goal of the contest.
Saving The Day: Callahan entered last
Sunday's contest against Clark following a 13-save effort
against Western New England College (WNEC) on Sept. 1 in a 4-0
loss. After falling behind early to the Cougars, Callahan kept the
Blazers' deficit at 1-0, stopping nine shots in second half
of regulation, including a sensational defensive play on
Clark's Lucia Pantuosco (Somers, Conn.) who
had a breakaway scoring opportunity. Callahan forced the striker to
take a wide angle which resulted in a wide shot and kept Elms in
the contest. Callahan finished with 18 saves on the day. For her
efforts, Callahan was named NECC Player of the Week.
