Cortlyn Bristol scored off a one-timer from eight yards out with 4:46 remaining in the second overtime as Hofstra lost, 3-2, to William and Mary in a Colonial Athletic Association matchup on Sunday afternoon.

William and Mary scored with 3:37 left in the second half to send the game into overtime before Bristol capped her three-point night for the conference win. Hofstra, which entered tied with the Tribe for second place in the CAA, fell to 10-7 and 6-3 against the league. William and Mary improved to 13-5 and 7-2.

Freshman Jeannine Molleda scored her first career goal and juniorBrittany Farriella added a scoring strike in the 59th minute to help Hofstra take a 2-1 lead late into the contest before the Tribe posted a comeback.

Molleda (Clifton, Va.) opened the scoring in the 20th minute when her blast from 15 yards nestled into the right netting. Tribe goalkeeper Caroline Casey got a hand on the ball but not enough to prevent it from going in, marking Molleda's first collegiate goal and a 1-0 lead for the Pride.

William and Mary stormed right back in the 35th minute when Emory Camper headed in Bristol's pass for her third goal of the season, knotting the score at 1 heading into halftime.

Farriella (Lake Grove, N.Y.) scored her second career goal and first of the season at a crucial time when she tabbed in an uncontrolled rebound from the edge of the box. Freshman Leah Galton (Harrogate, England) fired a shot from the edge of the box that Casey again touched but failed to control, allowing the Hofstra defender to reach the score sheet and give Hofstra a 2-1 lead at 58:05.

That edge almost was the difference between the Tribe's late heroics. Mallory Schaffer slipped the ball past Hofstra junior Emily Morphitis (London, England), scoring off Nicole Baxter's through pass for the tying goal with 3:37 left in regulation. Emily Fredrikson also was credited with an assist on the play to send the contest into overtime.

Hofstra, which played with 10 players due to a red card assessed in the 25th minute, held William and Mary to just six shots on goal.

William and Mary broke a deadlock on a second-chance goal. Hofstra blocked Camper's shot from 10 yards out before Bristol finished with her fifth goal. Camper and Bristol each tallied three points.

The Pride will cap the regular season on Wednesday against Northeastern at 3:30 p.m. from Hofstra Soccer Stadium.
