Roughly four minutes later, Avery Ferrell netted one for the Huskies to tie things up and the game was headed to overtime.  Just 24 seconds into the overtime period, Sofianna Sundelin scored the game winning goal just 24 seconds into the overtime period to give the Huskies their 8th win of the year.
