in Morrisville.

Both teams remained scoreless in the second half, but not without a
Wilson last second shot that ricocheted off the right post with two
seconds remaining in a one versus Mustang goalkeeper opportunity.
Morrisville State put one in the back of the net three minutes into
the first overtime period, but the goal was called off as the Mustangs
were whistled offside.
With time winding down in the second overtime period, Celia Abbott

the box to a waiting Cavellier who one-timed the ball into the net for
the game winning score with 1:18 remaining on the clock.
