Less than two minutes into overtime, Jessica Rothstein (Harriton) took a pass from Ana White (Strath Haven, two assists) and deposited it into the back of the net for the eventual game-winning goal. Cammie Linville then linked up with Godfrey halfway through the overtime session to seal the victory for Lafayette.
