Amazing! We pulled our goalie with about 1 and one half minutes to go and tied it in the final minuteWhat a finish..
With less than 1 minute to go in first OT NC player had a gimme tip-in for the winner but ball went off her foot (a no-no in FH in case not aware). Cats went length of field for the winner.
We trailed 2-0 and 3-1. We tied it in 59th minute.
