In the first overtime, both teams fought back and forth, until Weinberg's deep cross from the far side found Lippmann right in front of the keeper as she tapped it past in the 99^th minute. During the second OT, Carroll declined to take a shot and only allowed one look from the Vikings in the final ten minutes.
