Amherst’s Angelica Meggitt scored her second goal of the season for Baldwin-Wallace in a 3-1 loss to the fifth-ranked Otterbein last Saturday.

B-W closed the gap to 2-1 at the 75:54 mark when Meggitt dribbled the ball 30 yards with a tough defender on her the entire time, but got the shot off near horizontal to the goal box. She crossed it in front of the net, but it took an odd approach angle and went over the head of the goalie into the corner of the net.

The goal was only the third goal that Otterbein’s goalkeeper Tara Carter has allowed in 11 games.

Meggitt is a junior at Baldwin Wallace studying Middle Childhood Education. She has recently been accepted in the study abroad program where she will spend her spring junior year in Australia.

Vermilion’s Katie Finley made four saves as goalkeeper and earned her second win of the season in the net as Baldwin-Wallace defeated Hiram, 3-2 in overtime on Wednesday.

Finley played all 93 minutes as goalie and is now 2-0 as a starter. Rocky River’s Lindsey Mikula scored her second match-winning goal this season. Mikula’s match-winning came at the 93:00 minute mark of the first overtime. The goal was her third of the season. Mikula also scored the match-winner on Sept. 5 in a 2-1 overtime win versus host Penn State Behrend (Pa.) in the consolation match of the Behend Tournament.

Finley, who also plays softball, transferred from Defiance College.

Another area athlete on the team is Amherst’s Angelica Meggitt, a junior forward. Meggitt started all 20 games as a sophomore and played in 13 games as a freshman. Her first career goal came on Oct. 17, 2009 against Muskingum.

At Amherst High School, Meggitt was the Comets’ Offensive Player of the Year in all four years there.
