Saint Michael's knotted the game in the 69th minute, when Mary Lyon put away a rebound off of a shot from Devin Camerlengo for her third goal of the year. Both teams had scoring chances to try to take the lead late in the second half, but neither could find the net, forcing overtime. In the second extra period, Saint Michael's had a pair of good scoring chances when shots by Camerlengo in the 107th minute and Judy Cronin in the 110th minute both went just wide of the Cougars' goal.
