LANCASTER, Pa. – Sweet Briar field hockey (7-2, 2-1 CSAC) overcame a late push by the Lancaster Bible Chargers (1-9, 0-3 CSAC) to win the match in overtime, 2-1.

However, overtime wouldn't last long thanks to junior Colleen Goodly (Yorktown, Va.). Goodly scored on a penalty stroke to end the overtime period with a 2-1 victory for Sweet Briar.
