The goal was the third for Allen in as many games.

The Hawks broke the tie 3 minutes, 2 seconds into the first sudden-victory overtime period. A Hartwick player took a pass from the right side of the goal and fired a shot inside the far post.
Courtney DeMaria '10 finished with eight saves. The Continentals held the advantage in shots with 17, while Hartwick took a total of 12. Hamilton also led in penalty corners, 21-5.
