The teams exchanged chances in the first overtime, but a scramble in front of the net in the 106th minute resulted in a Megan Reid golden goal.
 
Sophomore goalkeeper Rylee Foster, the reigning Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week, played all 105:15 minutes in goal Thursday night and shows a 0.92 goals-against average on the season. She has made 12 saves in two matches for a .857 save percentage.
