The score resulted in sending the game into overtime.
 
In the 98th minute in overtime, Heidelberg’s Michael Juart (Hilliard, Ohio / Hilliard Darby) scored the game-winning goal as he caught Marietta's goalie out of position and kicked the ball in the back of the net from 22 yards out.  This marked Juart's first collegiate goal.
