MADISON, N.J. (October 22, 2013) – It took over 70 minutes of hockey but the 20th ranked Drew University field hockey team (13-2) prevailed in overtime, 1-0 to defeat in-state foe Richard Stockton (10-5) this evening. Senior Brooke Gagliano (Freehold, N.J./Freehold Twp.) scored the game-winner just 49 seconds into the first overtime.

Sophomore Sam Barcia (Berlin, N.J./Eastern) authored the game-winning score, driving down the right side of the circle and centering a pass to a cutting Gagliano. The senior forward tucked the ball into the lower left corner of the cage for her 13^th goal of the season. For Barcia, it was her fourth assist and Landmark Conference-leading,  42^nd point of the year.

Neither team was able to create solid scoring opportunities in regulation. The Rangers owned a 14-9 advantage in shots but the Ospreys out-cornered Drew, 12-7 in the contest.

Senior goalkeeper CC Carlini (Amherst, N.H./Bishop Guertin) was credited with her fourth shutout of the season. She made three saves to earn her 13^th win, breaking the school record for wins in a season. Her counterpart, Liz Stankiewicz made a game-high five saves in the loss.

The Drew defense held strong to preserve the shutout, Amber De Marco (Berlin, N.J./Eastern) and Alexandria De Sousa (Vorhees, N.J./Eastern) were both credited with defensive saves.
The Rangers avenged a 2-1 loss to Stockton last season and now hold a 4-1 advantage in the all-time series.

Already with a spot in the Landmark Conference playoffs, the Rangers will travel to Scranton on Saturday afternoon. The Royals are 2-2 in league play this season while the Rangers sit atop the league standings at 4-0.
