Box Score Millersville, Pa. – Saturday at Chryst Field at Biemesderfer Stadium, junior attacker Brooke Fisher engineered a five-goal comeback to lift the Marauders past Fort Lewis in overtime, 9-8. Fisher scored eight of the team's nine goals and assisted on the other in a huge performance that lifted the team to 2-0 on the young season.
 
Fisher's nine points were the most in a game since Liz Weekley posted nine twice during the 2009 season. The eight goals were two short of the team record for goals in a game and were the most since Weekley tossed home eight by herself on April 24, 2008. Weekley's feat came in a 25-5 rout of Slippery Rock, which is what makes Fisher's accomplishment that much more noticeable.
 
Entering Saturday's contest, Fisher had also scored 49 career goals, but never more than three in a game. She had recorded eight hat tricks in her career, but the eight-goal explosion was a career-high in both goals and points.
 
After the Skyhawks got on the board first, just 1:16 into action, Millersville grabbed command on three straight goals from Fisher to claim a 3-1 lead. Over the next 36:01 of game action spanning the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half, Fort Lewis goalkeeper Alyssa Spencer held the Marauders scoreless, and Millersville could only watch as the Skyhawks ripped off seven consecutive scores to take control with an 8-3 lead.
 
Then Fisher hit a switch, willing Millersville to victory. She fired one into the back of the net with 13:35 to play, cutting the deficit to 8-4. The Boyertown native followed that just over a minute later with a feed inside to Caitlin Shannon, who scored the team's only other goal of the day. But Fisher's scoring spree didn't stop there. She found the back of the net again with 11:11 to play, and then again with 9:15 left on the clock. After producing four goals in a span of just over four minutes, the home team still trailed, 8-7.
 
Fisher's goal sent the game into overtime with just under two minutes to play off a pass from Ruth Costanzo, tying the game at eight. With 2:11 gone in the first overtime period, Fisher's eighth and final goal capped the comeback and finished the scoring. Neither team managed another goal during the final 3:49 of play, completing the Millersville win. Goalkeeper Lauren Mateja also did her part, stopping 12 shots on a total of 30 Fort Lewis attempts.
 
Improving to 2-0 gives the Marauders just their third perfect start through the first two games of the season since 2003. Millersville hopes to make it to 3-0 for the first time since 1995 on Wednesday when it travels to Georgian Court for the team's first road game of the season. That 1995 team opened the season with five straight victories. Game time against the Lions is slated for 3:45 p.m.
