The ’96 Bears (MacLeod: #13, Meserole: #29, Banks: Top, 3rd from R)
On this day 18 years ago, the girls’ soccer team won an overtime thriller over Mercy thanks to late game heroics from Heather MacLeod and Brooke Meserole.
Trailing 0-1 with 3:10 left in regulation, MacLeod netted the equalizer to force overtime. Then, with 2:25 remaining in the second overtime period and the prospect of a tie looming, Meserole scored, thanks to an assist from Caitlin Banks, to give the Bears a 2-1 victory. Jaclyn Cafarelli had 18 saves in the victory.
