CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. -- Erin Huffman scored the game-winning goal in double overtime and the Old Dominion field hockey rallied to defeat Villanova, 3-2, in Big East action on Friday evening at the Villanova Field Hockey Field.
Despite outshooting Villanova (5-10, 2-4 Big East) by a margin of 28-8, the Monarchs (7-8, 4-2 Big East) faced a 2-1 deficit in the waning minutes of regulation. However, Rebecca Birch netted the equalizer with just 14 seconds remaining to force overtime and then Huffman scored the game-winner six minutes into the second overtime period.
"It was truly a team effort this evening," said head coach Andrew Griffiths.
