LAKEWOOD, N.J. - The Caldwell College women's soccer team lost to Georgian Court University, 2-1 in double-overtime in the quarterfinals of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament Tuesday afternoon at Investors Savings Bank Field. The loss marks the second year in a row that the Cougars have been eliminated from the CACC Tournament with a defeat in double-overtime. Caldwell ends the season with a record of 6-11-1, while the Lions advance to the semifinals against Dominican College.

The two teams battled to a scoreless tie until late in the second half. Candace Seaton put away a rebound off a shot from Kelly Lyons with just under five minutes to play to give Georgian Court a 1-0 lead. The Cougars answered a mere 18 seconds later, when senior midfielder Brianna Diaz (Chili, NY/Churchville-Chili) received a pass from senior forward Nicole Laureigh (Lanoka Harbor, NJ/Lacey Twp.) and tied the game with her first goal as a Cougar. The two teams remained deadlocked at 1-1 through regulation and the first 10-minute overtime period, sending the game into double-overtime.

With just under five minutes remaining, Shannon Mastrogiovanni played the ball towards the goal from near the endline to the right of the Cougars' goal. Freshman goalkeeper Kristina Cabales (Islip Terrace, NY/East Islip) got a hand on the ball but could not keep it out of the goal, ending the game in favor of the host Lions. Cabales finished with nine saves in goal for Caldwell, while Lindsay Hammond recorded one save for Georgian Court.

Last season, the Cougars lost in the CACC semifinals to Philadelphia University, 2-1 with just 36 seconds left in the second overtime period.

Tuesday's game marked the end of the collegiate careers of seniors Diaz and Laureigh, who both played two seasons at Caldwell.
