OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Stevenson women's soccer sophomore Stephanie Eyler (Thurmont/Catoctin) posted her seventh career multi-goal game, including first this season, as she scored both goals of a 2-1 overtime victory over Elizabethtown Saturday at Caves Athletics Complex.

The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Mustangs (5-3-1) who were ranked ninth in this week's NSCAA Division III South Atlantic Region Poll.

It was the second-straight one-goal decision between the two teams after the Blue Jays (2-5) won last year's meeting 1-0 on Sept. 27, 2008.

Stevenson is unbeaten in six of its nine games this season which is just off of last year's start in which the team was unbeaten in seven of its first nine en route to an appearance in the ECAC Division III South Region Championship.

The Mustangs are also unbeaten in four out of five games at home this season, but had to withstand a determined Blue Jay team who held an 18-8 advantage in shots.

Eyler gave the Mustangs a 1-0 lead just five minutes in when she scored off an assist from senior Katie Decker (White Hall/Hereford) on Stevenson's second shot of the game.

Neither team would find the net again until the 65th minute when Kelly Fisher scored her first of the season after Stevenson freshman keeper Lauren Wietzman (Westminster/Winters Mill) had the ball jarred loose when she collided with an Elizabethtown attacker in mid-air.

However, the goal would be the only one of the half allowed by Weitzman who made three second half saves despite facing 11 Blue Jay shots. Two of the shots came in the final six minutes where she totaled two of her saves.

Eyler would then score her eighth career game-winner and second this season on the first shot of overtime with 3:33 remaining.

Weitzman finished with six saves and is unbeaten in four of her six decisions this season. Kristen Kelly made four saves for Elizabethtown.

Stevenson plays its second consecutive non-conference contest on Wednesday when it travels to Juniata. Game time is at 4:00 p.m. The Mustangs won last year's game 2-0 at home on Sept. 24, 2008.
