With a 1-1 score at the end of regulation, Catholic and Mary Washington moved into overtime.

In the fifth minute of extra time Mary Washington notched the golden goal with an unassisted shot to secure the victory.  

Senior Zachery Tashjy played all 95 minutes in the net for Catholic, making four saves. Hernandez led the Catholic offense putting two shots on goal.
