For the first time in nearly two years, an Owensville High School girls soccer match needed more than 80 minutes to decide a winner.

Last Tuesday night in their first meeting against Eugene’s Lady Eagles, Zach Bollmann’s Dutchgirls entered overtime tied at 1-1.

After no scoring in the first 10-minute overtime, Lily Reed found the back of the net in the second 10-minute overtime giving the Dutchgirls a 2-1 double-overtime victory.

This marked the first overtime win for Owensville since April 12, 2017 when they defeated Newburg on the road in overtime 3-2.

Other overtime wins in the history of Dutchgirl soccer came back in 2015 on March 30 when they beat Dixon 2-1 and nearly a month later on April 23 when they defeated St. James 3-2 in overtime.

Their overtime contest last week was also the first since a May 11, 2021 1-0 overtime loss at Dutchmen Field against Laquey’s Lady Hornets.

Owensville’s other two overtime losses in program history came back on April 4, 2016 during a 1-0 double-overtime loss against Newburg and on May 7, 2018 in a 4-3 overtime loss at St. James.

Starting with St. James facing Sullivan last night (Tuesday), Dutchmen Field will host the Owensville Dutchgirl Soccer Tournament in a three team round-robin format between the host Dutchgirls, Sullivan Lady Eagles and St. James Lady Tigers.

Owensville will face St. James tonight (Wednesday) at 5 p.m., in what will also be senior night for the Dutchgirls.

Tournament action will conclude tomorrow (Thursday) with Sullivan taking on Owensville at 5 p.m.
