But in the second OT period, Buonaccorsi ended things on a goal at 91:09.

The Eagles led in corners by an opportunities by a 7-6 margin. They also led in shots on goal by 15-7 output.

“Huntingdon caught us on our heels and got the opening goal, but I thought we responded well and tied it up going into the half. I felt we held possession and got quite a few scoring opportunities in the 2nd half and overtime, but couldn’t cash in on them. It ultimately hurt us as we weren’t able to pull out a win,” said Bald Eagle coach Jared Moore. Makyala Spicer made a great diving save in the 2nd overtime period, but Huntingdon put in the rebound. It was a heartbreaker for sure.”

BEA goalie Makayla Spicer finished with five saves.

Huntingdon’s goalkeeper Molly Millar finished with 14.

With the loss, the Lady Eagles drop to 9-3-1 on the season.
