KENT, Ohio- The Kent State soccer team took down the Miami RedHawks Sunday afternoon at Zoeller Field at Dix Stadium to advance to the Mid-American Conference semi-final for the second year in a row. Siena Stambolich scored a walk-off olympico with just 12 second left in the first period of extra time.

The Golden Flashes got on the board early with a goal in the 2nd minute from Alisa Arthur. Jules Dolinski fired a rocket at the goalie that she defected right to the feet of Arthur who tapped it in for her 10th goal of the season, tying her mark from last season.

The RedHawks found an equalizer in the final seconds of the first half on a rebound goal by Makenna Morrison.

The midfields dominated much of the second half with teams exchanging shots that forced each team's goalie to make a save a piece.

The game would finish the 90 minutes level at one goal apiece and would head to a golden goal overtime period split into two 10-minute halves. The two remained level with two-shots a piece going into the final minute of the first overtime when Stambolich would line up for a corner kick and curl it into the net for her second olimpico in as many games for the Flashes.

In the box score Kent State led in shots (14-11) and corner kick opportunities (9-1), while the teams were level on shots on goal with five a piece. Arthur led the Flashes with four shots, while Dolinski led in shots on goal with two. In goal Heidi Marshall recorded four saves.
