GREENSBURG, Pa. – Nicole Krueger scored on a ball assisted by Sam Thornton in double overtime to help the Slippery Rock University women's soccer team continue its winning ways with a 2-1 victory at Seton Hill University in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference competition Tuesday afternoon.
 
With the win, Slippery Rock improves its record to 5-2-1 overall and 4-2-1 in PSAC matches. The loss drops Seton Hill's record to 4-4-1 overall and 4-3-1 in league play. SRU is now 2-1-1 in overtime games this season.
 
Through seven conference games, SRU finds itself ranked fifth in the PSAC standings and just two points in back of fourth place California (Pa.), who The Rock beat earlier in the season.
 
Slippery Rock, which received votes in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America top 25 poll, held decisive advantages over the Griffins in both total shots (16-7) and shots on goal (12-5). Seton Hill edged The Rock in corner kicks, 6-4.
 
Krueger's goal, her first of the year, was the third game-winning goal of her career. The assist was the first of the year for Thornton, who ranks second for The Rock with 11 shots on goal.
 
Helping Slippery Rock get to overtime was Ali Brosky, who scored Slippery Rock's regulation goal, and Andrea Felix, who set up the score. Brosky's strike was her third of the season, which is already a career-best for the senior forward.
 
Brosky got The Rock off to a quick start when she played a through pass from Felix and beat Seton Hill goalie Carolin Edenhofner to the left 15 minutes into the game. Both sides combined for three unsuccessful shots over the remainder of the half to give Slippery Rock the one-goal advantage heading into halftime.
 
Slippery Rock came out of the break with two near scores off of a Brosky shot that was saved and a header by Krueger that bounced off the crossbar. However, it was Seton Hill who was finally able to tally the game's second goal when Megan Warman's shot from 20 yards out found the back of the net to even the match at 1-1 with 21:29 remaining in the second half.
 
The SRU defense regrouped to allow just one more shot by the Griffins in regulation while The Rock offense put three additional shots on goal over the remainder of the period only to have all attempts stopped by Edenhofner as the contest went into overtime.
 
After a scoreless extra 10 minutes, Slippery Rock came out quick in the second overtime by firing off two shots in three minutes with the second being Krueger's game-winner to send SRU home with a crucial conference victory.
 
The quintet of Brosky, Krueger, Thornton, Dara Demich and Leslie Henny all recorded two shots on goal each to lead The Rock's offense. Goalkeeper Annabelle Hegeman stopped four shots to help secure the victory as well.
 
Warman paced Seton Hill with a game-high three shots on goal and Edenhofner stopped 10 Slippery Rock shots.
 
Slippery Rock is back in action when it hosts Pitt-Johnstown at James Egli Field Saturday at 1 p.m.
