Erin Huffman scored on a breakaway in the second overtime Friday, lifting Old Dominion to a 3-2 win over Villanova in a Big East field hockey match-up.

ODU was 14 seconds from a second straight loss when Rebecca Birch punched in a shot from the circle to send the game to overtime.

After a scoreless first half, the teams traded goals in the second. Riley Dolan put the Wildcats on the board in the 41st minute, and Carrie Sensenig knotted it for the Monarchs (7-8, 4-2) off a corner about 13 minutes later.
