Borders’ goal with four seconds left sends Warriors to victory

BABSON PARK, Fla. (October 13, 2018) – A goal by newcomer Leah Borders with 3.6 seconds left in regulation helped lift the Webber International University women's soccer team to a thrilling 2-1 win over SCAD Savannah on Saturday at Warrior Field.

Borders' goal, her second of the season, came on a breakaway after she beat her defender and then beat the goalie one-on-one with a nifty move.

The winning goal came 30 minutes after the tying goal from freshman Sidney Usina in the 59th minute, who scored for the second straight match and third time on the season thanks to an assist by Emilie Velez. It was the first career point for Velez.

Previous opportunities for the Warriors to take the lead came on a high header attempt by Borders in the 76th minute and a wide open shot by Megan Warner in the 83rd minute that sailed high.

After four saves by SCAD goalkeeper Natalia McElrath in a three-and-a-half minute span led to Warner's previously mentioned sixth and final attempt, the match looked destined for overtime before Borders finally converted on what was her fourth attempt of the match.

After making 12 saves in her first career start in goal last time out on Wednesday against St. Leo, junior Alyssa Rodriguez had a great performance on Saturday, stopping three of SCAD's four shots on goal and earning her first career win as a keeper.

Webber improved to 4-8 overall and 2-4 in The Sun Conference, keeping its hopes for a TSC tournament berth alive. SCAD fell to 5-7 and 2-3 as both the Warriors and the Bees moved to one match behind Thomas University (4-5-2, 3-2-1; fifth place) and the University of South Carolina Beaufort (6-3, 3-3; sixth place) in the win column. Only the top six teams in the TSC standings will advance to the postseason.

After a scrimmage with NCAA Division-I Florida Gulf Coast University at 7 p.m. on Monday, October 15, in Fort Myers, Florida, the Warriors will then get a chance to try and move even further up the TSC standings as Webber travels to play at USCB at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, October 17, in Bluffton, South Carolina.
