Parzonko’s Golden Goal Sends Warriors to Alabama

By Kaci Mexico November 19, 2016 In the first round of the single elimination NAIA Women’s Soccer National Tournament Haley Parzonko scored two minutes and four seconds into the first overtime period to defeat Carroll (Mont.) and send the #10 Warriors (16-3-2) to the round of sixteen in Orange Beach, Alabama. The final score was 2-1. The Saints (12-4-5) scored first when in the 19th minute Michaela Kueffler crossed the ball to Cassidy Hammons who slotted the ball into the left side of the goal from eight yards out. Ninety seconds later, Westmont’s Renee Gonsalves scored the equalizer with a far post header off of a corner kick by Parzonko. “On their goal we had a loose defensive breakdown and I think our response to get a goal off of a set piece today was huge for us,” explained head coach Chantel Cappuccilli.
