In the 85th minute, Edmunds picked up a pass in the corner off the foot of senior Zack Masciopinto (Arlington Heights, Ill. / Buffalo Grove). Edmunds preceeded to dribble past two defenders along the end line and center a pass low to the foot of senior Anthony Gulli (Warrenville, Ill. / St. Joseph) charging to the center of the net. Gulli one-timed a shot that went off a retreating defender and trickled over the goal line at the post for the equalizer.

Both keepers made a save in the first overtime with no shots making it on goal in the final 10 minutes.
