Bronx, N.Y. -
In yet another huge Atlantic 10 contest with conference tournament implications, the Fordham Rams pulled out a 1-0 overtime win over the Richmond Spiders on Sunday at Jack Coffey Field behind a goal from junior Mariella Romano.
With the win, Fordham improves to 7-9-1 overall, 3-3-1 in the Atlantic 10, while Richmond moves to 5-9-2 on the year, 2-4-1 in the league.
Despite Richmond holding a 9-7 shot advantage and a 6-2 margin in corners, the game was scoreless, heading into overtime.
Just over two minutes into overtime, Fordham received a throw-in near its bench. The ball was knocked through to sophomore Annie Worden, as she headed toward the top of the box. Worden then dished a pass to Mariella Romano, who found the top right corner of the net from 15 yards out for her second overtime game-winner this season and third goal overall.
In goal, Sarah Zieman made five saves for her second shutout of the year, as she improved to 3-2-1 on the year. For Richmond, Melissa Pacheco had three saves in the loss.
