at 2m, foul, ejection on Montijo, but Gracie May's
shot wide of the goal and out of bounds |
0:00 |
Stevenson doesn't get
a shot off and we go to overtime... |
--- |
...what a chance at
the end for Central, but they could not capitalize. Meanwhile,
both Sejna and Montijo have three ejections so both coaches will
have to look to the bench in overtime |

OVERTIME
|
--- |
The two overtime
periods proved to be a defensive battle, with neither team scoring
on eight consecutive attempts. In the waning seconds of the first
overtime period, however, Stevenson's Karen Lowry scored the
eventual game-winning goal to stun the Redhawks. The visitors had
several chances to score in the second overtime session, but it
was the Patriots' defense that came up big, shutting out the
Redhawks over a six-minute period to earn the win. |
