BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – The Olivet Nazarene women's soccer team struck in the first minute of overtime to down Governors State 2-1 Wednesday night. Teagon Albert's blast from distance ended the contest to bring their point total to 23 in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference play and maintain pace with the top four with a shot at hosting a first-round conference championship match.
From the first whistle, the Tigers jumped on the Jaguars to put the pressure on early. Abbey Cash struck the crossbar in the 24th minute that came close to crossing the goal line before being cleared away. A flurry of opportunities 5 minutes later ended with Teagon Albert placing the ball in the back of GSU's net but was called back for offside. Despite holding an 11-1 advantage in shot attempts, the ONU remained scoreless with Governors State at the break
