Kara Harpel weaves through the St. Joe's defense on Senior Day.
 

Oct. 29, 2009

Kara Harpel put on a show and left a lasting impression in her final game on the turf of Hank DeVincent Field. On Senior Day against the Saint Joseph's Hawks, Harpel scored La Salle's lone two goals.

Inspired by the emotions of the afternoon, she tied the game at one a piece with 28 seconds remaining in regulation. Harpel would then go on to win the game for her teammates in the double overtime, keeping the Explorers in the race for an Atlantic 10 Tournament bid.

Harpel has scored two game-winning goals this season. With two games remaining in her La Salle career, Harpel is currently ranked sixth in program history with 61 points and is seventh on La Salle's all-time list with 28 goals.
