The Bald Eagles just narrowly missed their equalizer in the 65^th minute as Andrea DiSomma's shot bounced off of the top crossbar. The Huskies caught a tough break when a handball was called outside the box on the BU goalie which forced a goalie switch.
 
Freshman Nigel McQueary (Newark, NJ/Seton Hall Prep) stopped the first shot he faced on goal in the 78^th minute but the Bald Eagles tied the game with just 15 seconds left in regulation.
 
The two teams headed into over and Lock Haven got the first and only shot of the extra period off just 2:50 into the extra time and found the back of the net for the 2-1 win.
