DURHAM, N.H. — Despite a career-high 23 saves from Lions goalkeeper Katie Wimmer on Sunday afternoon, Columbia field hockey fell to New Hampshire, 1-0, in double overtime at Memorial Field in the season finale.

Wimmer's 23 saves were the most by an Ivy League goalkeeper in a match since at least 2009 and most by a Division I goalkeeper this season. Playing in her home state, Wimmer stopped eight shots in the third quarter and 10 in the final 15 minutes. Wimmer was one save shy of tying the single game record in program history.

New Hampshire's Nicole Poulakis netted the game-winner 2:34 into the second overtime period to give the Wildcats (11-6, 6-2) the win. Poulakis came down the corner of the circle and put it past Wimmer on the near post into the cage for the game-winner.

Following just two shots in regulation for Columbia (3-13, 0-7), the Lions offense was buzzing in overtime. Columbia's greatest scoring chances came in both overtime periods. In the first OT, Lindsey Yu had a shot stopped by Wildcats goalkeeper Jemma Woods. Then in the second OT, Kennedy Sholeen and Anabelle Brodeur each had a shot on goal in the span of six seconds.

New Hampshire's offense was relentless in the second half. The Wildcats fired 28 shots (18 on goal), but weren't able to find the back of the cage. New Hampshire also had an astounding 19 corners on Sunday while Columbia had one. Columbia totaled seven shots on Sunday (four on goal).

New Hampshire almost had a lead late in the opening frame on a penalty corner. The Wildcats had a deflection into the cage but the officials wound up calling the goal off.

A scoreless first half featured nine total shots, with New Hampshire registering eight of them. Madison Kim had the Lions' lone shot on goal in the first half. Wimmer made all four of her first half saves in the first quarter.
