Bebar’s Golden Goal Lifts Women’s Soccer over St. John’s in Overtime, 3-2

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – First-year Hannah Bebar scored the game-winning, golden goal in the 98th minute to lift Harvard University women's soccer to a 3-2 victory over St. John's University in overtime on Sunday afternoon at Jordan Field.
 
After the Crimson (3-0-0) took a 2-0 lead at halftime, the visiting Red Storm (3-1-1) tied the game with two goals in the second half before Bebar – on her birthday – netted the decisive goal with just over two minutes left in the first overtime period.
 
Goals from junior Angela Caloia in the fifth minute and from sophomore Taylor Fasnacht in the 29th minute gave the Crimson a 2-0 lead inside of the first 30 minutes. The Red Storm scored in the 62nd and 65th minutes to force overtime prior to Bebar finding the back of the net at the 97:58 mark.
