HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • Holding a one-point advantage, the Mountain Lions went on the defense looking to hold ASU scoreless over the final 20 minutes of the match, but with less than a minute remaining in regulation, the Grizzlies would tie the game at one off a direct free kick from 35 yards out that deflected off the bottom portion of the crossbar and into the goal.
  • Neither team would score in the first overtime period, though the Mountain Lions would threaten with three shots on goal. UCCS' best chance to score in the period came in the 96th minute when they had three shots, two on goal, in a 15 second span, but the Grizzlies defense held tough to keep the score tied.
