Junior forward Kate O'Malley (Deephaven, Minn.) got the Bobcats on the board early, scoring just the second goal that Williams has allowed this season 2:30 into the game. The assist went to first-year midfielder Jo-Ellen Rowley (Milton, Vt.)

Williams evened the score with just under 20 minutes remaining in regulation. The game-winner, in the 99th minute, came with some controversy. Off a corner kick, Bates goalkeeper Suzie Arnold (No. Falmouth, Mass.) was pulled down by a Williams player as the ball went in the net.

Arnold made 20 saves in the losing effort, many while sliding along the muddy field.
