The Green and White answered back just six minutes later when Vultaggio found herself wide open in front of the net and fired the ball into the left corner to knot the score at 1-1.

EMU had a look early at the start of overtime but were unable to capitalize as Kent State's Jamie Eiben sailed a shot into the top left corner of the net past the outstretched hand of McCabe to end the sudden death overtime and give the Golden Flashes the 2-1 victory over the Eagles.
