Oneonta, NY - After coming away empty for the last five seasons, the Hartwick women's soccer team captured its first Brozman Memorial Cup with a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory over two-time defending Cup Champion Marywood University Saturday at Elmore Field.

Junior midfielder Katelyn Bosy broke a 2-2 deadlock 5:31 into the first overtime session as she took a pass from Erin McSherry near the right sideline and hooked a shot over Pacer goalkeeper Meghan Coyle. Coyle was able to get a finger-tip Bosy's shot but could not push it over the crossbar. The victory for Hartwick ends Marywood's two-year hold on the cup, which is named for former 'Wick player Erinn K. Brozman who passed away in 1993 shortly after graduating.

Hoffman (Binghamton, NY) found herself all alone at the top of the 18-yard box with time ticking down. Hartwick keeper Kelly Griffin got a piece of Hoffman's shot but was unable to keep it out of the net. Siobhan Blancaflor (Haddam, CT) put in Marywood's first goal in the 58th minute off a rebound with the assist credited to Lisa Hanselman (Manheim, PA).

Hartwick got off to a quick start registering a goal in the opening 11 minutes of the match. Junior Briana Crow ripped a shot from 15 yards out that was deflected back to senior defender Marissa Mackay, who one-timed a shot back at goal from just inside the 18 that found the side-netting. It was Mackay's first goal in a Hartwick uniform.

Just under six minutes before the half, sophomore Krista Marzano and senior Lauren Ploof connected to put the Hawks up 2-0. Ploof brought the ball into the box and instead of taking the shot herself; she slipped a nice pass to the on-rushing Marzano, who tucked the ball into the goal for her second career tally.

Hartwick finished the match with a slight 13-11 edge in shots. The Hawks held a 7-2 advantage over the Pacers in the first 45 minutes with Marywood returning the favor 8-3 in the second half.
