Brooklyn, NY---A grind to the final minutes of regulation, BC senior midfielder, Sangam Gurung would flick home the game-winner in the 86th minute to help the Brooklyn College women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Cairn University this evening.  Brooklyn improves to 2-4 on their second win in a row in their home opener. Cairn drops to 1-4 overall on the season. 

Proud of the way his team stuck together after Cairn took  1-0 halftime lead, Head Coach, Patrick Horne would comment, "I told the team at halftime that we were right there and to keep working, that eventually they would get their opportunity.  Keri's game-tying goal gave us the momentum we needed."  He would go on to add, "They never gave up and stuck together, and Sangam's late goal was the result."
