Babson assumed control and ran the clock down to under a minute when a foul near the goal was called, leading to a free-position shot for Kayla Pettengill with only :23 seconds left in regulation.

Valerie Feldman had a chance to win it for the Gulls with :09 seconds showing but Sarah Macary (Woodbury, Conn.) swatted Feldman’s free position attempt and forced sudden-death OT.
Off the draw control in sudden death, Feldman scooped up the ground ball as Endicott set up its attack. \#Carin Czerniawski\# (Monroe, Conn.) found DeShaw in front of the net and the sophomore attacker fired a sidearm shot that flew under the crossbar and into the back of the net to give the Gulls a 17-16 win only :25 seconds into the final OT.
