It was only a matter of time.
After 90 minutes of deadlocked soccer, Westfall finally sent everyone home at 2:10 in overtime. Gaining control of a cross from sophomore forward Joey Yenne, she beat Aztec goalkeeper Linnea Quiones with a shot from 18 yards out.
It was Westfall's second goal of the season, her other being among the Crimson's seven in a rout over Vermont.
Westfall also came closer to scoring than any other Harvard player during regulation. In the first half, she took a shot off of a corner kick that went past Quiones and would have reached the net had Aztec midfielder Elicia Petre not cleared the ball off of the goal line.
"They had one good scoring chance all day and we had maybe four," Gunther said. "We definitely dominated the game."
One of the Aztec's best scoring chances came right before halftime. Aztec forward Kim Rogers broke free inside the box and found herself one-on-one with Gunther. But Rogers sent the ball over the crossbar.
On the day, Gunther made four saves to earn her first shutout of the season--already the ninth of her career.
