The Blue and White finished the second half with six shots but neither team could find the back of the net, sending the game to overtime. Tonight marked the first time the Eagles had been to overtime this season.

In the 105th minute Kate Carter broke the Eagles hearts, taking a pass from Jordan Ross and finishing it into the back of the net.
