After sprinting out a 2-0 lead in the first half, the Cardinals (8-3-4; 7-2-3 GLIAC) surrendered a pair of second half goals, forcing the extra time, which extended into two overtime periods.

SVSU jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute when Michael Lamb connected on a corner kick from Craig Neal, for his fourth goal of the season.

SVSU retained the lead heading into halftime, dominating the offensive side of the ball with 11 shots compared to the Panthers five.

Late in the second half, senior Duncan Campbell (Hilliard, Ohio) cut the lead in half, scoring the Panthers first goal at the 71:05 mark. Campbell was fouled in the box by a Cardinal defenseman, setting Campbell up for his fourth penalty kick of the season. The senior zipped in his fourth goal of the season to the bottom right corner.

In the 80th minute, sophomore Brent Wahle (Pataskala, Ohio) tied the game 2-2 after finding fellow soph. Caleb Wilson (Reynoldsburg, Ohio) for his team-leading seventh goal of the season.

Heading into extra minutes, neither team could capitalize on any opportunities to earn the victory.
