It remained tied until the 77th minute when the team exchanged a pair of goals over a six-minute span.  Gannon retook the lead on Emily Cekall's shot from the top of the box that found the back of the net, before Esser took a deflection and beat Golden Knights' goalkeeper Kennedy Solymosi to knot it at two and force overtime.
