Canton, NY – Allison Wakefield made 13 saves but Lexi Dean scored the game-winner 6 minutes, 11 seconds into the second overtime to lift the SUNY Potsdam women's soccer team to a 1-0 win on Tuesday evening.

The Roos had a golden chance to take an early lead 15 minutes in when a Madison Rowe pass deflected to Kristina DiNardo. She took a shot just before a charging Karlee Burdick got to the ball as it deflected to Bailey Grace on the right side. She just missed the open net as her shot sailed high.

SUNY Canton held a 2-0 shots on goal advantage over the first 25 minutes, while Potsdam had the upper hand in corner kicks, 4-1. The teams played to a scoreless tie at intermission.
 

The teams continued to look for the go-ahead goal and Brooke Falsion nearly found it with nine minutes remaining for the Bears on a beautiful through ball but Allison Wakefield made a tremendous save to keep the game tied.

With 3:53 remaining the Roos were whistled for a pair of yellow cards resulting in the ensuing red card as they would finish the game with 10 players. Potsdam held a 10-3 shots on goal and 9-2 corner kicks advantage but the teams would play to overtime.

Potsdam posted a pair of shots on goal in the first overtime but Wakefield turned aside both shots as the Roos continued to battle with 10 players.

Dean scored the game-winner with 3:49 remaining off a pass from Morgan Robbins to give the Bears the win. Wakefield made 13 saves for the Roos, while Karlee Burdick turned aside three shots for Potsdam.
