Host SUNY Cortland scored the game-tying goal with no time on the clock in regulation and the winning goal seven minutes, 42 seconds into the first overtime, as top-seeded and nationally 14th-ranked Cortland defeated fourth-seeded Oneonta, 2-1, in the SUNYAC Tournament semifinals today in wintry conditions.
 
Oneonta was outshot in the game, 32-4, but still held a 1-0 lead on a goal by junior Andrea Day (Greene/Greene) just under four minutes into the second half. Day took a crossing pass from junior Sierra Earle (Baldwinsville/Baldwinsville) and one-timed in a shot from in front of the cage.
 
Two weeks ago, in a regular-season game at home versus Oneonta, Cortland trailed by a goal before tying the game on a penalty corner with no time left on the clock. The situation played out again when the Red Dragons were awarded a corner as time expired. By rule, Cortland was allowed to complete the corner with the clock at zero. Senior Erin Smith received the ball on the corner and fed the ball to the right.  Senior Karly Vdoviak lifted a shot over the goalie to send the game into overtime.

In the first sudden-victory 7-versus-7 overtime, sophomore Jillian Vogl passed the ball along the left end line to Vdoviak for a shot that found its way inside the left post for the game winner.
 
Oneonta junior goalie Tess Tracy (Liverpool/Liverpool) made 17 saves. In addition, the guests recorded three defensive saves. Senior Jessica Hodes (Stone Ridge/Rondout Valley) made one with 5:58 left in regulation and another just 19 seconds prior to Cortland's game-winning goal, and senior Stephanie Fiske (Marathon/Marathon)  made a defensive save 5:09 into overtime.
 
The start of the game was delayed nearly 10 minutes due to snow covering the field, and the game was delayed again for approximately 45 minutes at halftime after another series of snow squalls. The weather cleared, however, for the remainder of the game.
