Senior midfielder Kristina Dzhandzhapanyan scored the lone goal in regulation for Navy, which earned an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament. The game ended in a 1-1 tie after 110 minutes of action.
It went to penalty kicks after neither team was able to score during a pair of 10-minute overtime sessions. Swigert stopped two of the three penalty kicks taken by Colgate and that gave Keast the opportunity to clinch the victory in the fourth round.
