HOW IT HAPPENED
Allison Schmitt opened her senior day game with flair, scoring Southwestern's first two goals in the first six minutes of play.
The Pirates were able to double-up North Central's goals and took a 6-3 lead into the break.
A flurry of goals opened the second half with four goals in less than three minutes. Southwestern posted one but conceded three to lead by just one, 7-6 with 27:14 remaining.
Courtney Ragland single-handedly kept the Pirates in the game, scoring five times and assisting once on SU's 9 second half goals.
With five seconds remaining NCC's Gina Fisher drove from the top of the arc and scored the game-tying goal as time expired to force overtime.
After a good defensive stand Southwestern's Allison Cook curled just right of goal to bring the defense with her and found a wide open Brenna Jobb who buried the ball in the back of the net for the game winner.
