Oct. 19, 2005
BIDDEFORD, ME - The University of New England gave Endicott all it could handle but sophomore striker Paula McGinn's (Lynn, MA/Lynn Classical) two goals propelled the Gulls to a 2-1 overtime win Wednesday afternoon.
Endicott (10-2-1, 10-0-0 CCC) clinched the Commonwealth Coast Conference regular season title. The University of New England dropped to 7-6-1 (5-4-1 CCC) with the loss.
The Nor'Easters grabbed a 1-0 halftime advantage and held the lead until the 86th minute when McGinn struck from just inside the box on a feed from sophomore midfielder Margreta Weber (Bedford, NH/Manchester West).
McGinn did not waste any time clinching the title. After a corner kick, McGinn scored on a scramble inside the box in the 94th minute. Sophomore midfielder Ashley Clark (West Newbury, MA/Pentucket Regional) recorded the assist on the game-winning goal, which was McGinn's 15th of the season.
The Gulls travel to Curry College Saturday before returning home for Senior Day versus Bates College of the New England Small College Athletic Conference.
