MILLERSVILLE, Pa. – Millersville head coach Shelly Behrens had hoped for an early-season test Saturday. Limestone obliged, and Millersville passed that test, winning 2-1 in double overtime on Bri Harsh's golden goal. 

Both teams entered the game unbeaten and without a goal allowed. Millersville (3-0) had outscored its first two opponents a combined 13-0, and while the Marauders held a 17-4 advantage in shots and a 15-4 edge in penalty corners, Limestone keeper Tereza Koprivova kept her team in the game with seven saves. 

Harsh's winner (her sixth goal of the young season), came 54 seconds into the second overtime. Georgia Werkiser scored Millersville's first goal 2:35 into the third quarter. 

GAME HIGHLIGHTS
• Werkiser broke the scoreless tie early in the third quarter on a brilliant individual effort in which she dribbled into a clearing on her right and 10 yards from the goal ripped a shot past Koprivova. 
• Limestone, however, needed just one minute to even the score. Liz Halberstadt beat freshman goalie Kerstin Koons on her right side with a well-struck shot. 
• Werkhiser had a near-miss early in the fourth, and with just over two minutes remaining in regulation, Hannah Brown had a shot that Koprivova saved, and Harsh's follow was blocked. 
• Millersville was the aggressor in overtime, earning five corners in the first three minutes. Koprivova saved three of them, including an all-out dive to her left to turn away Brynne Ehrlacher. With 4:10 left in the first overtime, Qhayiya Nogoduka lifted a shot over a downed Koprivova, but Limestone's Chelsea Cangro provided a last line of defense and blocked the shot. 
• The Marauders needed just 37 seconds to draw their first corner of the second overtime. The first try resulted in another corner. This time, Harsh collected a loose ball off the pads of Koprivova and pushed a shot through traffic to the right side of the cage for the winner. 
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
• Hannah Brown led Millersville with four shots attempted, three of which were put on goal. Werkiser and Harsh both took three shots. 
• Koons faced just two shots in the entire game and made one save. 
 
REACTION FROM COACH SHELLY BEHRENS
• On the test in today's game: "Limestone is a very good team. I think for two of us to play good teams early, that's exciting. I knew it would be a challenge today. I thought we did some good things. It was good for us to be under pressure and learn some things about ourselves. What a good game for us as a young team. I loved the way we reacted. We found a way to win."
• On the game-winning goal: "Everything that went our way today, that we made go our way, were things we have been spending time on. That's gratifying. We wanted to get a shot on goal and put away that second, third effort. It happened to be Bri."
• On the change of strategy in overtime: "A lot changes. We practice overtime everyday so those seeds are planted. We've said you can't plant the seeds and then eat the fruit. So that fruit came today. I loved how we attacked it. We were the aggressor."
