NAPLES, Italy — Christen McCullough scored a goal and assisted on Emily McNulty’s game-winner in overtime Saturday as the Aviano Saints took over the lead in the American Schools in Italy soccer standings with a 2-1 victory over Naples, the defending European Division III and ASIL tournament champions.

McCullough beat keeper Alex Petrucci 17 minutes into the game, and Naples’ Laura Keating scored the tying goal from 20 feet out just moments later.

The game-winner came on Aviano’s 25th shot.

The elapsed time between the goals was a testimonial to the play of Petrucci and Naples sweeper Tracy Light, according to Naples coach Gloria Krom.

“Light was everywhere she needed to be at just the right time,” Krom said. “This game was really worthy of being called the game of the week.”

The defense and goalkeeper Jessica Tolliver were very effective for Aviano, which avenged two straight losses to Naples, one of them in the Division III championship last May.

“It was a really, really good game,” said Aviano coach Pam Hillestad after her team took over the ASIL conference lead with a 2-0-1 record. “We’re really psyched.”

Naples, which fell to 3-1, closes out the regular season Saturday at home against the American Overseas School of Rome, which tied Aviano 2-2 on March 29.

Aviano is scheduled to play at Vicenza on Saturday and host Milan on May 10. All the ASIL schools then move on to the Mediterranean Championships at Marymount International of Rome, where they’re scheduled to be joined by Ankara, on May 15-17.

Ramstein 1, Lakenheath 0

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany — All-Europe senior Evie Callaghan took a pass from Collette Bannister and scored what proved to be the game-winner three minutes into the second half Friday as the Lady Royals rebounded from last week’s 1-0 loss to Heidelberg.

Callaghan got the score that boosted the Lady Royals to 2-1 in the Division I race, but the real credit should go to the Ramstein defense, “which allowed very few strong shots on goal,” coach Bill Belmear said.

Lakenheath is 0-2.

Vilseck 6, Mannheim 0

VILSECK, Germany — Sabrina Tate scored twice and added an assist Saturday as the Falcons continued to soar.

Sarah Starr added a goal and an assist for Vilseck, which ended Patch’s 48-game winning streak on the road the previous week and improved to 2-0 in the Division II race.

Vilseck is to host Bitburg on Saturday before traveling to SHAPE on May 10 and hosting Black Forest Academy in the regular-season finale May 17.

Mannheim fell to 0-3.

Ansbach 1, Baumholder 0

BAUMHOLDER, Germany — Goalkeeper April Derbak slowed a late shot on goal by Katie Otterstedt enough that she was able to corral the ball before it went over the line and preserve Ansbach’s third victory of the season without a loss.

Derbak’s hustle and a defense which limited Baumholder (0-3) to that lone shot on goal allowed the Lady Cougars to remain the only unbeaten team in Division III on the strength of Alison Hazen’s unassisted goal in the game’s opening minutes.

Ansbach is to host Bamberg this Saturday and close out the regular season at Bad Aibling May 10.

Hohenfels 3, Bamberg 2

HOEHENFELS, Germany — Tiara Waltz scored twice, and Joanie Martinez added a goal as the Tigers handed visiting Bamberg its first loss of the season.

Bamberg, which got two penalty-kick goals from Patricia Gardner, fell to 3-1 in the first game in which the Barons had allowed more than one goal by the opposition. They’ll travel to Ansbach for a must-win game Saturday and host Brussels on May 10.

Hohenfels jumped back into the Division III race with the victory which improved the Tigers’ record to 2-1. They’ll host Giessen on Saturday and close out the regular season at Baumholder on May 10.

Boys soccer

Lakenheath 3, Ramstein 0

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany — Luke Croucher scored three goals Friday as Lakenheath defeated Ramstein Royals 3-0 in boys high school soccer.

Croucher scored twice in the first half, and Lakenheath goalkeeper Chris Beets posted his second straight shutout.

Lakenheath took a 3-0 overall record and 2-0 Division I mark into Saturday’s scheduled game at Kaiserslautern. At press time Saturday, however, Stars and Stripes had received no report on that game.

Also unreported in Division I were the results of Division I co-leader Heidelberg’s game at Würzburg on Saturday and Ramstein’s visit to International School of Brussels.

London Central 1, Brussels 1

HIGH WYCOMBE, England — London Central failed to win for the first time this season as the referee declared the game over at the end of regulation.

DODDS-Europe schools usually play up to two five-minute overtime periods when games are tied after regulation, but that didn’t happen Saturday. If the score is still tied after overtime, conference games such as this Division III-North contest are usually decided by a shootout whose outcome is used solely to break ties in league standings at season’s end.

“I don’t know why we didn’t play overtime,” said London Central coach Fredo Ontiveros, “but no one complained.”

Jeremy Tibbetts, assisted by Steven Cusumano, opened the scoring for London Central with just 3:13 played, but Brussels tied the game just over 10 minutes later and the game stayed that way for the rest of the 80 minutes.

According to Ontiveros, strong defense by fullback Brian Cooney and midfielder Erica Tibbetts was vital in preserving the tie.

London Central, 3-0-1, is idle this week; Brussels (1-1-1) visits Menwith Hill on Saturday.

Mannheim 3, Vilseck 2

VILSECK, Germany — Luis Dawiczyk scored all three goals as Mannheim stayed atop the Division II race with its third one-goal victory of the season.

Mannheim, which hadn’t played in three weeks, got eight saves from Thomas Elon in improving to 3-0. Mannheim hosts Hanau this week.

Wally Gaffney and James Van Patton scored for Vilseck (0-2). The Falcons host Bitburg on Saturday.

Bamberg 4, Hohenfels 2

HOHENFELS, Germany — Collins Wonzina scored two of his three goals in the final eight minutes as Bamberg won its second game in a row and handed Hohenfels its first loss of the season.

Perry Helton had scored twice for Hohenfels (3-1 overall, 2-1 in III-South play) as the teams battled to a 2-2 halftime tie.

The Barons improved to 2-2 overall and 2-1 in the conference.
