The scoring stopped in the second half, but Lafayette was not without its chances, as they outshot the Red Raiders 7-2, and 22-4 overall in regulation. The game headed to overtime.

Overtime lasted only 46 seconds. Olivia Long (Jenkintown, PA/Jenkintown) came through with her fourth game-winning goal this season, off a feed fom Salber.

The win pushed the Leopards to 13-1, including 4-0 in the Patriot League. Colgate fell to 3-9, and 1-3 in the league.
