HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. – Freshman Michaela Thiessen's goal 6:31 into the overtime session lifted the Centenary University field hockey team to a 3-2 win over Notre Dame (Md.) on Saturday afternoon in Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) play.

Prior to the start of the game, the Cyclones recognized seniors Dayna Wich and Elizabeth Karpinski.

After a scoreless first period in which the two teams combined for 11 shots, the Cyclones got on the board in the second period. Freshman Megan Baker scored off a pass from fellow freshman Isabella Tracy at 26:08.

The Cyclones carried that 1-0 advantage into the halftime break.

The Gators tied the game at 1-1 on a Vanessa Dunn goal at 38:39.

Centenary went back on top, 2-1 at sophomore Keirra Doyle scored off a penalty corner just 12 seconds later. Doyle's first goal of the season came off a pass that was inserted by Baker.

Dunn once again struck for the equalizer for Notre Dame. Her second goal of the day came off a pass from Makeima Elise Freeland at 42:58.

Both teams battled hard on each end of the field in the fourth quarter but neither was able to find the back-of-the-net and the two teams headed to overtime.

The Cyclones had to start the seven on seven extra session, one player down as they received a green card as time expired in regulation. However, the home team was able to kill off the card.

Centenary got the game-winner at 66:31 as Thiessen scored off a pass from freshman Jordan Vandermark.

Freshman Sydnie Bogan was stellar in goal as she made 13 saves to earn the win. It was Bogan's third game this season with double digit saves. Fallon Katz made five saves in the loss for the Gators.

Baker led the Cyclones with three points on the goal and the assist.

The Cyclones are back in action on Wednesday, Oct. 30 when they host Stockton at 4 p.m.
