In the 73rd minute, the Sagehens saw their best series of opportunities after Spencer Duetz put a shot down the middle that was saved. The Sagehens saw three shots from Emily Tomz and Anna Ponzio over the next three minutes but again, each shot was saved. 

In the first overtime period, the Sagehens were the only team to record a shot with Tomz putting one on frame in the 95th minute. Pomona-Pitzer would add two more shots to the scoresheet with attempts from Mandell and Tapp but after 110 minutes of play, the scored remained 0-0, resulting in the Sagehens second draw of the season.
