The American University women's soccer team was defeated at Colgate by a 1-0 final score in double overtime on Saturday night. The loss is American's first in Patriot League play, although the Eagles remain in a share for first place in the conference with a 3-1 record.

Colgate (6-6-3, 2-1-1) converted the game-winning goal in the 107th minute of play. Mary Segreti sent a corner kick in front of the goal for the Raiders, where Avery Atkins was positioned perfectly to send a header over AU goalkeeper Arianna Efstathiou.

American (8-8, 3-1) had its best game-winning scoring opportunity late in the first overtime period on a Kelsey Brasher shot, which sailed just wide of the goal.

In the match, the Eagles outshot Colgate, 18-12, and held an 11-7 advantage in shots on goal. Brasher and Kristin Piorun led American with three shots apiece, while Patricia Bailey, Erin Koch, Jasmine Mohandesi and Erin Stebbins each recorded two shots.

Efstathiou made six saves in the match, and lowered her season goals against average to 0.94.

The Eagles will be back in action next weekend with a key Patriot League road weekend. On Friday, October 23, American travels to Lafayette at 7 p.m. before facing Lehigh on Sunday, October 25 at 1 p.m.
