BRONX, N.Y. -

The University of Rhode Island women's soccer team picked up a thrilling 1-0 double-overtime victory against Fordham in an Atlantic 10 contest in the Bronx, N.Y., on Sunday afternoon.

"Fordham is a tough place to play and we were happy to come out on top," said head coach Geoff Bennett. "We really battled throughout the game and earned a nice victory."

The two teams battled through a scoreless regulation and a 15-minute golden-goal overtime period. Midway through the second overtime period, sophomore Lauren Melofchik took a pass from fellow sophomore Erica Young and notched a shot on goal that was stopped by the Fordham Keeper. Senior captain Catherine Zanni collected the rebound and put in the follow-up shot to give Rhode Island a 1-0 victory at 113:43.

Senior keeper Kate Hirsch made four saves for Rhode Island while Shannon Misiaszek had seven stops for Fordham.
