BUFFALO, N.Y. (9/6/2013) -- Senior Kaitlyn Quarrell of the University of Detroit Mercy women's soccer team scored two goals including the golden goal with 2:56 left in double overtime that helped the Titans win a 2-1 decision over the Canisius Golden Griffins from the Demske Sports Complex Friday evening.
 
Detroit (2-2-1) won its second straight game and its second straight in overtime after a 1-0 overtime win at San Francisco on Sunday. Detroit is now 2-0 all-time against the Golden Griffins (1-4-1).
 
"We won the game and I thought we deserved to win the game based on how we played but the bottom line is we need to do a better job of finishing in the final third of the field and capitalizing on some of the opportunities we create," said UDM women's soccer head coach Mike Lupenec.
 
Quarrell started the scoring at the 4:05 mark of the first half. Quarrell made a move on the defender just inside the 18-yard box on the left side and took a shot that found the back of the net to give UDM a 1-0 lead.
 
Canisius would come back to tie the game in the 31^st minute and the score would remain the same until Quarrell tallied the golden goal at 107:04 that won the game for the Titans. Quarrell took a pass from Alyssa Riley and put the ball in the back of the net.
 
"It was great to see Kate get on the score sheet and this is a good win to take into playing a top ten team on Sunday," added Lupenec.
 
UDM had control of possession throughout the duration of the game and had more than a few great chances coming ever so close to taking the lead in regulation and then again in overtime but Canisius goalkeeper Megan Tock made 15 saves, and the team had one save also, thwarting the Titans time and time again. Quarrell finished with 14 shots for Detroit, eight on goal, as she helped her team to 34 overall shots compared to 17 for Canisius.
 
Detroit will play at No. 8 ranked Notre Dame Sunday at 7:00 p.m. ET.
