Elbeck gave Mason (6-3-0) the win when she scored on a header from six yards out off of a crossing pass by junior
Erin Mitchell. Elbeck, who scored two goals in 15 games last season, is tied for the second-most goals on the team this season with three.
“Our momentum was going and we were doing well going into overtime,” Elbeck said. “We knew we were going to be the team to put it in the back of the net. It came down to the wire and I saw the cross coming and knew I had to put something on goal.”
With the Patriots trailing 1-0 late in regulation, Mitchell sent the game to overtime when she scored from a sharp angle on a rebound off of a shot by junior
Kaila Williams to tie the game 1-1. The goal in the 89th minute found the back of the net with only 23 seconds left in regulation.
Mitchell has scored a goal in each of the last two games and Williams has an assist in each of the last two contests.
The Patriots showed a never-quit attitude against a UNCW team that has been ranked first in the NSCAA Mid-Atlantic Region rankings for the last four weeks.
“That’s something that we have been trying to make one of our qualities that we have in our program,” Mason head coach
Todd Bramble said. “That certainly was on display tonight.”
After a scoreless first half, UNCW (5-2-1) jumped out to a 1-0 lead early in the second half. Junior Savannah Andrews notched her first collegiate goal in the 48th minute, scoring off a free kick from 35 yards out.
