How it Happened

Scranton put the pressure on Trinity from the start, but the Tigers' fourth ranked defense was up to the task.
Goalkeeper Lauryn Lewis denied two shots from Royals' graduate student Niamh Healy and freshman Molly Martys en route to making three saves in the first half.
Scranton's defensive unit also came to play early, limiting the Tigers to just four shots in the first half.
Senior goalkeeper Nicole Olson made one save in the opening half.
The Royals continued to pressure the Tigers' defense in the second half, recording 17 shots, five shots on goal.
Senior Samantha Goffice had her shot get deflected off the crossbar in the 48th minute.
In the 78th minute graduate student Mary Haggerty ripped a shot from long-range that was bound for the top right corner but Lewis made a leaping save.
Graduate student Claire Mulholland drilled the crossbar on a shot from distance in the final minutes of regulation.
Despite the number of opportunities the Royals had, the game was deadlocked at 0-0 after regulation, forcing overtime.
With under a minute left in the first overtime period, the Tigers earned a corner kick. After Michaela Bosco served the ball into the box, it was redirected by Alex Doran to freshman Elie Kriek who softly flicked it over the diving Olson and into the back of the net to send Trinity into the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. The game-winning goal was the first of Kriek's collegiate career.
