Christi Bottcher scored midway through the overtime period as Rochester rallied to defeat The College of Wooster, 4-3, in field hockey on Sunday.
The Yellowjackets forced the extra period when Amanda Case scored her second goal of the match, this one with 9:18 remaining, on a pass from Lara Bucarey.
Rochester is 3-1 this season with the loss an 0-3 decision to eighth-ranked Cortland. The Yellowjackets defeated Geneseo on Sept. 1, then downed Elmira College on Saturday before topping the Fighting Scots.
Wooster (2-2) lost its second straight high-scoring battle. The Saints were 2-0 before a 6-5 loss at Ithaca College on Saturday.
The game ran in waves. Case scored at 7:28, knocking the ball home in a goalmouth scramble. Allison Beardsley doubled the lead at 10:29. She ran from right to left in the Wooster circle and shot the ball into the lower left hand side of the cage.
Wooster, which scored a goal in the first four minutes of each of its first three games, replied quickly. The Scots scored twice in a span of 40 seconds, then took a 3-2 lead before the game was 23 minutes old.
Eileen Barrer scored the first of her two goals at 11:21 when she steered the ball home from six yards out. At 12:01, Amanda Artman chipped it from the right side to the back post and Briana Lynch was there to knock it home, tying the score.
Barrer made it 3-2 in favor of the visitors at 22:08. She latched onto the ball in a packed goalmouth and managed to tip it into the cage.
When the match got to overtime, the Scots had a great chance to win it. Rochester had a penalty corner. As the ball went through the circle, Wooster's Nina Dine broke free to intercept it. She dribbled near midfield, then released pass to Artman who took it about 15 yards past midfield and laid the ball onto the stick of Maggie Donnelly. She ran into the Rochester circle but pulled her shot wide right as Rochester goaltender Danielle Pearson moved well off the line to challenge.
Two minutes before the gamewinning goal, Beardsley dribbled into the penalty area and was stopped by Wooster goaltender Madalyn Myers from four yards out.
The winning goal came after a Case shot was blocked by the defense. Bottcher picked up the free ball and from a backhand position, lifted it into the top of the cage over the lunge of Myers.
Pearson made seven saves for Rochester. Myers had 11 stops for the Scots.
