COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Junior Isabella Mazzaferro scored just over 106 minutes into the match, lifting the Bowling Green State University women's soccer team to a 1-0, double-overtime victory over the University at Buffalo Saturday afternoon (Nov. 1). The match, a Mid-American Conference Tournament quarterfinal-round contest, was held at Historic Crew Stadium.
With the win, the Falcons (10-2-8 [4-1-7 MAC]), the number-six seed for the six-team tournament, advance to Tuesday's (Nov. 4) semifinal round to face second-seeded Miami University.
Fellow junior Ella Kane provide the assist on Mazzaferro's winner. Kane and sixth-year collegian Ellie Pool worked a combination play near the corner flag on the left side of the field. Kane, facing the sideline, eluded two would-be defenders with a spin move, then worked her way past several more opponents as she brought the ball into the box. She slid a pass to Mazzaferro, who went top shelf for the "Golden Goal" and a trip to Tuesday's semifinal.
The Falcons had slight advantages over the Bulls (12-5-2 {8-3-1 MAC]), the third seed for the tournament, in shot attempts (8-6), shots on goal (2-1) and corner kicks (3-2). Neither team had a shot on goal through the entirety of regulation.
The Falcons advance to Tuesday's semifinals against second-seeded Miami at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
