Waltham, Mass. – Bentley women's soccer won its 6^th straight game on Senior Day, as they defeated Saint Michael's 2-1 in double overtime to clinch a playoff berth. Sophomore Dana Goulet (Wilmington, Mass./Wilmington) had both goals.

With the win, Bentley is now in 5^th in the NE10 standings with a 7-5 record for 21 points with one match left. They are just one point behind Southern New Hampshire for a top-four spot and a home playoff game.

The regular season ends on Tuesday with Bentley at Saint Anselm and SNHU at AIC.

Bentley took the lead in just the 2^nd minute on a goal by Goulet, assisted by Kelly Donlon (Meriden, Conn./Francis T. Maloney) and Emma Guccione (Holliston, Mass./Holliston). Guccione sent a cross in from the right wing that Donlon got a touch on, which allowed Goulet to fire home from about eight yards with a low shot.

Bentley led 1-0 at halftime, but finally saw its shutout streak come to an end in the second half when the Purple Knights scored off corner kick in the 66^th minute to tie the score.

The shutout streak reached 531 minutes, almost six full games worth without allowing a goal.

The game stretched into overtime tied 1-1, until Goulet struck again with just 2:22 remaining to give Bentley the win.

After a Saint Michael's foul Bentley was awarded a free kick about 40 yards out. Junior Kegan Castles (Leominster, Mass./Nashoba) sent the kick into the box and Goulet sent a looping header to the far post for the goal and win.

Tuesday's game up at Saint Anselm will kick off at 3:00 pm.
