Sonoma State Rallies To Defeat Gators, 3-2 in 2OT

Allyson Freitas Scored Her First Collegiate Goal in the Gators' 3-2 (2OT) Loss at Sonoma State
ROHNERT PARK.--- Sonoma State Seawolves (4-4-1, 2-2-1 CCAA) rallied from a two goal deficit this afternoon at Seawolf Field to defeat the visiting SF State Gators 3-2 in double overtime. Meghan McGrew connected on a ball from Kiley Brown to score the golden goal with three minutes left in the second overtime. With the loss, SF State falls to 3-4-2 overall and 1-3-1. 
            “We played a great first half with two great goals coming off the feet of Myriah Johnson and Allyson Freitas,” said SF State Head Coach Jack Hyde. “Sonoma State came out and pressured us in the second half and we gave up two goals to send the game into overtime,” added Hyde. “We need to learn how to play a whole game and not just one half, hopefully we can bounce back on Sunday at Humboldt State.”
            Myriah Johnson (Lakewood, Washington, Clover Park)connected on her first goal of the season as she scored from 20 yards out in the 5th minute to give the Gators an early 1-0 lead. The Gators kept up the pressure as Allyson Freitas (Gardnerville, Nevada, Douglas) scored her first collegiate goal on a header off a cross from Nicole Vanni (Manteca, California, Sierra ) in the 17th minute to give SF State a 2-0 lead going into the half.

            SF State had two chances to increase its lead, but Freitas and Nicole Smith's shot's but went wide left. At the 83:17 mark, Catton connected on a penalty kick to tie the game at 2-2 after a Gator was called for a hand ball in the box.
