UCCS gets heroic goal to beat FLC in quarters

The No. 25-ranked UCCS Mountain Lions escaped the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament quarterfinal round on Sunday, netting the go-ahead goal with four seconds to go and ending the Fort Lewis College women’s soccer team’s season with a 6-11-2 overall record.

After a scoreless first half, UCCS struck first in the second to go up, 1-0. Hannah Paschke then earned her fourth goal of the season for FLC to tie the game, this one on a header off the corner service from Julia Johnson.

UCCS bided its time and never panicked. A scrambled throw-in for the home team on the near side ended up at the feet of Kaitlin Hinkle 25 yards out. Wasting no time, the Mountain Lion attacker connected on a beautiful shot that carried to the top right pocket for the 2-1 advantage with just four seconds to go.

The Mountain Lions improve to 13-2-4 overall and advance to take on Regis University in the semifinals Wednesday.
