Lycoming finally evened the score at 86:20 after senior midfielder Sammi Jo Bell (Maple Shade, N.J./Maple Shade) was fouled in the penalty box, allowing Shaner to score the ensuing penalty kick. The teams each took some time on offense, but neither squad could find the goal, forcing the overtime.

Shaner snapped the tie and won the game 96:38 into the match after freshman midfielder Lindsay Schilling (Woodbine, Md./South Carroll) sent in a cross from deep in the Defenders’ territory.
