The Women of Troy led 7-5 with 52 seconds left after Brianna Daboub provided what appeared to be a comfortable cushion, but Stanford, the defending champions, responded with back-to-back goals to put the match on the precipice of overtime. To win USC's last national championship, back in 2013, the Women of Troy needed five overtimes to overcome the Cardinal, but Haralabidis' championship-winning shot put an end to tonight's drama just before the regulation buzzer.
