TROY, Ala. - Senior captain Amy Jackson had taken 23 shots since the last time she scored a goal on Oct. 26, 2008, and all failed to find the back of the net - until Sunday.

Jackson scored the game-winning goal in overtime to give the Golden Panthers a 2-1 victory at Troy. With the win, FIU (8-5-3, 6-1-1) ties the program record for most wins during Sun Belt play, as both the 2000 and 2001 squads recorded six victories.

"That's a great accomplishment," coach Thomas Chestnutt said. "We knew Troy was going to be a tough game. They are a very organized team and very well coached. So congrats to the girls for sticking to it and not hanging their heads after Troy scored late in regulation."

FIU recorded 12 shots on goal - their best output of the conference season - and Troy goalkeeper Ashley Branham saved five in the first half and 10 for the game.

Cortney Bergin and Casey Thames' each had looks at the net in first nine minutes before Bergin served  the ball into the box and the Trojans recorded an own goal to give FIU a 1-0 lead at 12:27.

With less than nine minutes remaining in the game, April Perry's shot hit the post and Katrina Rose followed immediately with a shot that sailed high. Rose fired at the net again with six minutes remaining but it was saved.

With 1:05 to go, Troy's Bridget Duke scored on a penalty kick to knot the game at 1 and send it to overtime.

"In the second half, Troy had a lot of energy and the referee called a penalty kick. That's kind of tough to deal with, scoring so late in the game," Chestnutt said. "But from the beginning of overtime, we took over, and I'm proud of the team for their resolve."

FIU fired first, but Thaisa Moreno's shot went high and Kassandra Sorzano's sailed wide right. Freshman Kaitlyn Savage saved Troy's only shot in the extra period before Jackson connected on the third goal of her career, helping extend the team's unbeaten streak to seven games.

Jackson received the ball from Moreno on the left side and never hesitated.

"You know that feeling you get when you know something is going to happen? When Thaisa served the ball, I just knew it where it was going to go, and I got to it," Jackson said. "It's a great feeling to score, but most of all I was happy to clinch it for the team."

The Golden Panthers return home Friday to face UALR at 7 p.m. on Parent's Weekend.
