The Wolves would find the net for the first time when Karli Harney converted on a penalty in the 61^st  minute to make the Mustangs' lead 2-1.
 
SMSU was unable to hold onto the one goal advantage through the whole second half, conceding an equalizing goal in the dying moments when Sammie Zgutowicz found Setphany Estrada on a counter attack who then found the net to even the score at 2-2.
 
After 90 minutes, the score remained tied 2-2 and SMSU headed into its second overtime match in as many weeks. Northern State would fire the first two shots of the overtime period but Hartmann dribbled through the penalty area and connected on a shot in the 95^th minute to give the Mustangs the 3-2 win.
