Despite a scoreless first half, the Vikings' offense kept Gordon's goalie McKenzie Dion (North Grafton, MA) busy as she saved all five shots that were on net. Midway through the second half, Victoria Clancy (Dorchester, MA) broke the stalemate as she rifled a shot from the left corner of the Fighting Scots box that beat Dion on the right side to give the Vikings a 1-0 lead. However, with two minutes left, Silveira saved the day for Gordon as she buried a free kick from just outside the box that forced the game into overtime.
In overtime, the Vikings had multiple scoring opportunities due to the lack of ball pressure from the Fighting Scots, but were unable to find the back of the net as the game ended in a 1-1 draw after 20 minutes of overtime.
Salem State's offense dominated Gordon as they outshot the Fighting Scots 21-6, but only had one goal to show for it. Melissa Toomey (Saugus, MA) made four saves while Dion finished with nine.
Salem State will travel to Bridgewater State on October 10th to take on the Bears in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference matchup at noon. The Fighting Scots season will continue on October 10th as well, when they take on conference opponent East Nazarene at 12:30 p.m.
