King-Thurber’s Late Winner Lifts the Saints Past Plattsburgh

Senior forward Madison King-Thurber scored the game-winning goal in the 83rd minute to lift the St. Lawrence University women's soccer team to a 2-1 road victory over Plattsburgh State on Wednesday night at the Field House Complex.

With the win, the Saints improved to 4-2-2 on the season, while the Cardinals dropped to 4-5-0.

The two teams played a solid first half of soccer, but were only able to get one shot on frame between them. Zoe Davenport came up with a save in the sixth minute for the Saints, while Kylie Burnett and King-Thurber saw their looks miss the frame.  

Lilly Stone opened the scoring for the Scarlet and Brown just 58 seconds into the second half of play. The Saints were offered a corner kick on the play, which was fired into the box by Chloe Bourque. A Cardinal defender attempted to clear the ball but found the foot of Stone, whose right-footed strike gave St. Lawrence the lead.

Plattsburgh responded in the 63rd minute with a goal from Alana DeLacruz to tie the match at one apiece. Davenport stymied the first bid from the Cardinals on the play, but the rebound was sent home to tie the match.

King-Thurber, who hails from nearby South Hero, Vt., celebrated the homecoming in style, breaking the deadlock in the 83rd minute. Kaitlyn Barton kept the play alive in the Cardinal end and found Kiki D'Anza. The junior midfielder threaded a perfect pass to King-Thurber, who redirected the ball home for the 2-1 lead.

The St. Lawrence defensive unit locked down in the final seven minutes, preventing the Cardinals from getting any shots off.

Davenport made a pair of clutch saves in the win, including a diving stop with the glove in the 80th minute. Plattsburgh's Desiree DuBois faced two shots in the effort and saw both hit twine.

Plattsburgh held the narrow advantage in shots (8-6) and shots on goal (3-2), but the Saints dominated the ball to the tune of an 8-4 corner kick edge.

The Scarlet and Brown will head home and begin preparing for their Liberty League opener against Skidmore this Saturday, September 27. The conference tilt will begin at 2:30 p.m. at Sandy MacAllaster Field.
