Brown's amazing comeback was completed with 2:18 remaining in regulation as Zamora struck again.

Holding even with the goal to Springer's right, she skated across in front, beating two Crimson defenders, and then slipped the puck underneath Springer's outstretched pad.

In the play immediately following the game-tying goal, Brown forced a pile-up in front of Springer, but she held strong.

With under a minute remaining, Shewchuk had an excellent chance to win the game for the Crimson. She beat a Brown defender in front and had an open shot, but Brewer closed the five hole and denied all the following put-backs.

"You have to give her credit," Shewchuk said. "She's been one of the better goalies we've played, especially in the third period. I could have put it in that time with 18 seconds remaining, but I missed the shot."

In the five minutes of overtime, the Bears continued to dominate. Brown kept the pressure on Springer, outshooting the Crimson 6-0. The Bears best chance came when the always-dangerous Mounsey got a clear slapshot off from the blue line, but Springer managed to make the left-pad save, preserving the tie for the Crimson.

"Its just one of those things," Shewchuk said. "Sometimes, you get caught up going the other way - hopefully you'll get better."

Stone put some of the blame for the tie on Shewchuk's and Botterill's two-week departure.
