The Cougars responded with three straight goals of their own. Erin Green got her name on the score sheet, and Wiltrout scored another to give the Bees the lead. The home team netted two more until Cummins found Mackenzie Zions for a score, and Cummins talling a goal of her own soon after. Wiltrout added another to give SAU a two score advantage. Cleary was able to tie the game up, but Wiltrout scored again to help St. Ambrose regain the lead with under two minutes left. The Cougars found the back of the net to force the game into overtime. But the Bees had the answer in overtime, with Wiltrout scoring her sixth goal of the night.
