BROOKVILLE, N.Y. (Sept. 30, 2014) - Just under three minutes into overtime, junior forward Keliann Margiotta (Sewell, N.J.) found the back of the cage off an Abi Sawyer (Wakefield, West Yorkshire) assist to seal the No. 6 LIU Post field hockey team's 2-1 victory over No. 8 Adelphi on Tuesday at Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium.

Sawyer dished a long ball from midfield to the waiting forward. Once Margiotta obtained possession, she pulled the diving Panther (5-2) goalkeeper, Kelly Serrao, out of the cage and scored the goal to assure the win and her fourth game-winning tally. This marks the Sewell native's 12th tally in five games played, good for a 2.40 goals per game average.

The green and gold got on the board first, grabbing the 1-0 edge at 17:22. Freshman Kaycee Zelkovsky (Lambertville, N.J.) re-directed a Dani Crouse (Westville, South Africa) shot from the top of the arc to put the Pioneers up by a goal. The lead would stand through the rest of the first half and most of the second. With two minutes left in regulation, however, Adelphi's freshman midfielder Samantha Nizich evened the contest with a goal off of teammate Molly Cuevas' assist. The score remained 1-1 at the end of 70 minutes, and the Pioneers and Panthers headed into overtime. 

LIU Post boasted a 16-8 shot advantage in the competition, with six penalty corners and 10 shots on goal. Sophomore goalkeeper Ericka Parks (Nesconset, N.Y.) made four saves, and picked up her third win in as many appearances.

Head Coach Raenee Savin and Pioneers are back in action Sunday (Oct. 5), when they host Franklin Pierce in a Northeast-10 Conference tilt at 11 a.m.
