HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Valiants struck first as Ali Joly broke through the Falcon defense and scored on a breakaway to make the game 1-0 at the 7:08 mark of the first period.
- Albertus netted the equalizer at the 9:47 mark of the second period with just 14 seconds remaining on the power play, as Walsh fought to put away a deflected shot from Yetman in a scrum of players in front of the net.
- The game remained 1-1 as the two teams headed into overtime, where Martin took the puck coast-to-coast, and fired a shot that was saved by Valiant goaltender, Olivia Cimorelli. Reynolds was there to gather the rebound and put it past Cimorelli to win the game just 18 seconds into the overtime period.
