MOUNT VERNON — The South Tama County/East Marshall girls’ soccer team turned away 19 shots but couldn’t stop the 20th as Mount Vernon put back a rebound for a 1-0 overtime win against the Trojans in Tuesday’s WaMaC Conference clash.

The Mustangs (9-7) found the back of the net with 3 minutes, 19 seconds, gone off the clock, as a save by STC/EM keeper Abby Llewellyn led to a rebound opportunity that Mount Vernon converted for the golden goal.

It marked the sixth 1-0 loss for STC/EM this season and the seventh one-goal defeat for the Trojans (1-16).

Llewellyn ended with 19 saves, while STC/EM managed just three shot attempts and one shot on goal at the other end of the pitch.

The Trojans go back out for their fifth-straight road game next Tuesday, visiting Class 2A No. 6 Union Community in a non-conference contest.
