In the league’s first double overtime championship match since 2010, it looked to be anyone’s game throughout. Charlotte held a 7-3 advantage in shots after the first half. Marshall evened it up after the break, outshooting Charlotte 7-2. Neither team was able to find the back of the net during regulation or through the first overtime period. Finally, Dolabella scored off of a Jonas Westmeyer corner kick to clinch the win and the automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament for the Thundering Herd.
