Heartbreak in Overtime

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – With just five minutes remaining in the first overtime period, the Chowan Hawks ripped the hearts out of Converse fans with a goal in the 95th minute to give the Hawks a 2-1 win at McCracken Field on Saturday afternoon.
 
Converse (2-2-1, 0-1-0 CC) and Chowan (3-2-0, 2-1-0) came into the match as the No. 4 and No.5 schools in the Conference Carolinas standings.

The score remained 1-0 until the 82nd minute of the game, Tim Boeckstaens came open on a free kick from Sinan Kilincarslan and the Valkyries had tied up the game. Boeckstaens is now second on the team in goals scored this season with three, all three goals have occurred during a home game.
 
Gero Wolters and Hayden Gensler led the offensive attack for the Valkyries with a pair of shots each in the game. Wolters led the team with a pair of shots on goal, while David Windmiller recorded four saves in the loss.
