Bears Rally to a Thrilling 3-1 Triumph Over Alabama A&M Sunday
9/10/2017 5:27:00 PM | Women's Soccer
MACON, Ga. – Mercer women's soccer team turned in an exhilarating 3-1 comeback victory over Alabama A&M Sunday afternoon at Bear Field.
Â
STAT OF THE MATCH
Mercer had season-high 34 shots in the match, outshooting their opponent by 27 shots.
Â
WOMAN OF THE MATCH
Freshman Ally Fordham scored a pair of goals in the second-half to help lift the Bears to victory.
Â
HOW IT HAPPENED
Mercer came out very strong in the first half, dominating possession and firing a flurry of shots towards goal. In the 16thminute Sarah Adcock fired one towards goal but was stopped by the Bulldogs' keeper Jodi Medina.
Â
Moments later Tajah Dallemand forced Jordyn Ebert to come up with her first save of the match.
Â
The Bears nearly struck first in the 20th minute when Valeria Bermeo drilled one on target but was stopped by Medina. The Bears continued to test the Bulldogs' back line and goalkeeper with 18 shots in the first half, seven on goal.
Â
Alabama A&M struck first in the 39th minute when Tajah Dallemand was able to beat Ebert with a rebound off of a free kick. Mercer entered halftime trailing 1-0.
Â
Mercer came out extremely aggressive in the second half looking to knot the game up at 1-1. It wasn't until the 67th minute when the Bears finally broke through with Ally Fordham heading one past the keeper, assisted by Brie Pavol and Sarah Adcock.
Â
In the 77th minute Alexius Hill scored her first goal of the season, a game-winner, assisted by Bermeo off of a corner kick.
Â
Fordham added an insurance goal in the 83rd minute assisted by Isabel Rothschadl. The Bears' defense held strong for the 3-1 triumph.Â
Â
NOTABLES
• The Bears outshot the Bulldogs 34-7 in the match, with 15 on goal.
• Freshman goalkeeper Jordyn Ebert saw her third full match of action, recording two saves.
• Alexius Hill provided a solid spark for Mercer off the bench, playing 28 minutes, scoring the game-winner in the 77th minute.
• Valeria Bermeo recorded her third assist on the season, connecting with Hill in the second half.
Â
RECORDS UPDATE

Â
QUOTABLES
"Credit Alabama A&M; they made it difficult for us at times. They scored an early goal on us when we had a mental lapse, but for the most part we controlled possession of the match. We had 34 shots in the match. We challenged them at halftime to be more efficient in front of the goal and make better decisions in the final third. Obviously we were able to do that by scoring three goals."—Head Coach Tony Economopolous
Â
NEXT MATCH
• The Bears return to action when they travel to Clinton, S.C., on Friday, Sept. 15, to face the Presbyterian Blue Hose beginning at 7 p.m.
