HOW IT HAPPENED

  • New England College dominated time-of-possession in regulation while taking fifteen shots to Mitchell's two, but neither team could find the back of the net.
  • Just 2:34 into the first overtime period, sophomore midfielder Darian Taylor (Hudson, N.H.) was able to handle a corner from freshman midfielder Briana Lopes (East Providence, R.I.) to score the go-ahead goal.
  • The Pilgrims would blank the Mariners for the final 18 minutes of overtime to secure the victory and punch their ticket to the NECC championship game.
