Florida State took advantage of the first good chance of the game. In the 13th minute Onyi Echegini deflected an attempted clearance by Waniya Hudson. Echegini then hustled over to the left corner to collect the ball and send a beautiful cross into the box. Clara Robbins came out of nowhere to head the ball into the right corner beating Mackenzie Wood to break the scoring ice and give the Noles a 1-0 lead. Notre Dame wasted no time finding the equalizer. In the 14th minute Korbin Albert collected a loose ball in the midfield. Albert took a couple of touches and then fired an absolute rocket with her right foot past Cristina Roque to level the game at 1-1. It was an unbelievable strike from Albert. It takes a really special effort to beat Roque from distance and Albert really delivered here.

Notre Dame was able to maintain possession for much of the first half. FSU seemed content to allow the Irish to have the ball while looking for counter attack opportunities. In the 32nd minute Florida State earned a golden opportunity. Heather Payne lofted the ball into the box where Echegini was waiting. Echegini brought the ball down and tried to turn for goal but she was tripped up by Eva Gaetino. The whistle sounded and the Seminoles were awarded a penalty kick.

Heather Payne is FSU’s designated penalty kick taker and she stepped up to take the kick. Payne sent a low hard shot into the lower left corner to give the Seminoles a 2-1 lead. In the 43rd minute ND earned a second consecutive corner kick. Albert took the kick for the Irish. She sent the ball to edge of the six where it was headed away by LeiLanni Nesbeth. Caroline Gray kept the ball in and sent a shot on goal but Roque was there to knock the ball over the crossbar for the impressive save. In the 49th minute FSU earned another chance. Robbins received the ball in the midfield and passed it ahead for Beata Olsson who was making a run in the center of the field. Olsson immediately pushed it forward for Echegini who had a step on Eva Gaetino. Wood came off her line to make a big save denying Echegini.

In the 52nd minute Notre Dame generated another chance. Kati Druzina found Albert wide open in the middle of the field. Albert took a touch before laying the ball off for Olivia Wingate on the left flank. Wingate took a touch before firing a low left footed drive that was saved by Roque. However, the Irish weren’t done by a longshot. In the 57th minute Albert took over the game. Heather Gilchrist tried to clear the ball but Albert intercepted the clearance. Albert battled with Echegini before flicking the ball back to herself and then unleashed a devastating cracker of a shot from about 20 yards out that beat Roque to give ND the equalizer. However, Albert wasn’t satisfied. In the next minute Albert collected a deflected ball and went to work. She darted through the Seminole defense before getting enough space to fire a left footed shot from about 24 yards away that froze Roque and gave the Irish the 3-2 lead. However, FSU refused to fold. In the 73rd minute Florida State found the equalizer. Kaitlyn Zipay battled with Caroline Gray for a ball sent in by Clara Robbins. Zipay eventually collected the ball and played it back for Maria Alagoa who was trailing in support. Alagoa one timed a dangerous ball into the box. Wood came off her line to punch the ball away but Olsson beat her to the ball knocking it away from her. Emma Bissell hustled over to knock the ball into the back of the net to level the game at 3 apiece. The game remained tied after regulation and went into overtime.In the 105th minute the Noles generated a chance. Olsson charged into the attacking third. She eventually squared the ball over to Jody Brown on the right side. Brown played it back for Jenna Nighswonger at the edge of the box. Nighswonger took a touch and then fired a left footed shot that whizzed inches wide of the left post. From there neither team could scratch the scoreboard and the game went to penalty kicks. Ashley Naylor replaced Wood in goal for the Irish for the penalty kick shootout. Cristina Roque remained in goal for FSU.
