Courtney Shade scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner with eight minutes left, to lift the Pitt-Bradford women's soccer team over Medaille Wednesday, 2-1.

It was the Panthers' third straight conference victory and kept them unbeaten in league play at 3-0-2.

Medaille struck first, converting off a corner kick in the 10th minute to jump ahead 1-0. Shade responded in the 22nd minute, scoring an unassisted marker to tie the game.

The score would remain that way until the later stages as Pitt-Bradford struggled to finish despite numerous opportunities. The Panthers dominated the shot chart, outshooting the Mavericks 24-10.

Over a span of 10 minutes in the second half, the Panthers registered five shots on goal yet they were stopped each time by Medaille's Deejah Burgess.

In the 82nd minute, Kaitlyn Donnelly found Shade, who finished in the back right corner for the game-winning score. It marked the second time this year she scored twice in a game and moved in her into the team lead with five goals.

Sarah Dailey recorded four saves, including a key stop with three minutes left, to earn the win in net.

Pitt-Bradford improves to 6-4-3 on the season and will host La Roche Saturday in the AMCC Game of the Week.
