Sophomore goaltender Annie Owens made a diving grab to her right, and got a piece of the shot.
However, Owens couldn't get enough as Badawy's shot trickled over the line with 10 seconds remaining in overtime.
"It was so crazy," Badawy said. "Brown was just standing there stunned as if they thought they'd win the game, and we were all just so happy. It was the best win of the season for us and gives us so much confidence going into the ECACs."
Despite the game's dramatic finish, Saturday's showdown was anything but a close contest throughout the game.
Uncharacteristically, the Crimson, which has had trouble scoring in the first half all season, came out and scored twice in the first 15 minute to get a seemingly-commanding 2-0 lead.
Only six minutes into the first half, the Crimson got the break they were looking for on a timely penalty corner opportunity.
Taking a well-placed inbound pass from tri-captain forward Dominique Kalil, overtime heroine Badawy placed the ball perfectly, and tri-captain back Katie Schoolwerth teed up and stroked a shot past the Brown goalkeeper.
