Junior midfielder Jennifer Smith had three shots in the second overtime session, including the game-winning goal for the University of Minnesota Duluth as it defeated Concordia University, St. Paul 2-1 on Friday evening.

The Bulldogs (10-2-0, 9-1-0 NSIC) improved to 2-0 in overtime matches as they slipped past the Golden Bears (4-9-0, 3-7-0 NSIC) in the 105th minute.

CU scored just 55 seconds into the match, a header by Kaylyn Rae Smith off an Emily Ecklund corner kick. The Golden Bears held on despite being out-shot 8-3 by UMD in the first half. The Bulldogs came out swinging in the second half, as junior forward Maureen Stormont netted her 12th of the season in the 60th minute with an assist from Hannah Keil.

UMD out-shot Concordia 16-7 in regulation but had to go 15 extra minutes before Smith netted her second of the year, with an assist from Stormont, for the victory. Smith had all three shots in the second overtime session as UMD out-shot CU 20-9 on the night. Sophomore goalkeeper Marissa Rosa needed just three saves to preserve the victory for UMD, while the Bulldogs had six shots on-goal for the match.

UMD will receive a day of rest Saturday before hitting the road for another tough NSIC match-up as they take on No. 3 Minnesota State University Mankato. That match is set for a 1:00 p.m. kick-off on Sunday.
