The University of Redlands women's soccer team turned to sophomore midfielder Maddy Phillips (Seattle, WA) for its goal production in a 2-1 overtime triumph over Willamette University (OR) in Redlands on Saturday.

A game that had unfolded in a similar fashion to the disappointing 0-1 defeat to Chapman University on Thursday quickly had a rewrite to its ending as Phillips scored with just 12 seconds remaining to equalize the tally at one apiece. She struck again with 21 ticks left on the clock in the first overtime period to give the Bulldogs their first victory of the season.

Redlands controlled the tempo from the get go, unleashing 13 shots to Willamette's five in the first half. Unlike Thursday's match, the opposition continued to struggle in stopping the Bulldog attack as the Maroon and Gray posted an 11-3 shot advantage in the second stanza.

The Bearcats, however, capitalized on their best look of the game as Andrea Rowan turned and ripped a shot from nearly 40 yards out to put Willamette ahead, 1-0, in the 75th minute. After a number of scoring attempts, the Bulldogs appeared to have dropped another non-conference tilt despite outchancing their counterparts for the majority of the contest.

With the clock winding down, Phillips uncoiled a blast from well outside of the box, and Bearcat goalkeeper Kelli Gano fumbled the ball before it fell into the goal. With a breath of new life thrust into its cause, Redlands received three corner kick opportunities in the first overtime period and also recorded five shots.

Phillips' score at the 99-minute mark came as a result of crowding on the goal line, and she put a body on a ball that wound up in the back of the net. Redlands had finally exorcised its scoring woes, registering its most goals in a match so far this season.

Senior goalkeeper Tenley Rawlings (Salt Lake City, UT) earned the victory between the posts for the Bulldogs despite facing a mere three shots on goal. Gano's otherwise flawless performance in net was marred by Phillips' offensive outburst, and the Willamette keeper shouldered the loss in spite of corralling nine saves.

Three Bulldog offensive players helped facilitate the barrage of shots. Sophomore forward Fionna Connolly (Salem, OR) and Phillips notched six shots apiece while junior forward Leslie Horner (Portland, OR) uncorked five.

Redlands (1-3) kicks off its conference grind on Wednesday, taking on Whittier College at home at 7 p.m. Head Coach Suzette Soboti sits just four victories shy of winning 100 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) matches on her career.
