It came down to two seconds…, 0:02 left in the 2nd half, for the Women’s Saint Xavier University Cougars (4-3-1, 2-1 CCAC) to come up with a 1-0 victory over St. Ambrose University (Iowa: 3-5-2) on Saturday, September 28.

Right around the 14 second mark, St. Ambrose passed the ball up field to junior Addie Kerkhoff and she was unable to keep the ball within her reach.
